According to U.S. Transportation Security Administration, new Canadians born in 14 countries would face special screening while entering the US as announced on January 3, 2010. The new measures are meant for those traveling from the mentioned countries, having dual citizenship there and also for and Canadian landed immigrants.

It has been said that these new security checks have come in response to a failed bomb attempt by a Nigerian man on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on 25th December 2009. Those who come under the scrutiny of these new measures can expect delays, confusions and other situations while entering the US premises.

Here are those 14countries: Cuba, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, and Yemen.

Transport Canada further confirmed that the country too is planning to inculcate these ideas in their Immigration rules and regulations. According to Transport Minister John Baird, the country would have to review the US Plan in order to choose those who would enter the Canadian premises for additional screening. Apart from these new measures, the Canadian airports will soon commence the working of full-body scanners within the next two months.

Surely, every country is getting particular about the entry of who should enter their premises and who should NOT! In order to ensure a legal entry in any prospective country, it is advised to take assistance from an Immigration and Visa specialist today.
