| The Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement was negotiated between 1985 and late 1987, and was signed in January 1988. The language of the treaty hasn't been meaningfully adjusted in over 25-years. Therefore when you are going through the process, you should relate what you'll be doing in mid-1980's terms, especially during questioning. For example, something computer systems analysts supposedly do in the 1980's is draw flow charts. Call it that, because modern variants of that won't be on the checklist. The border agents, who are all regular and normal people, seek what's specifically described in the treaty. So wise-up, and be prepared to hit the correct notes. Everything invented since 1987 isn't part of being a computer systems analyst under the treaty. The border agents know this, and interpret the treaty to some degree under current circumstances. But forget about showing the border agent how much you know. You need to relate to what they know: the treaty, as written. |
