If we have Permanentes, would we not be let back in? I know the U.S. admits citizens with passports going in the other direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 You can enter Mexico as a Residente Permanente by land or air with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonia Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 It means Canadians may not drive to Mexico as they are not allowed to enter the US by car. Some are desperate as even their house has sold and they have no where to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are allowed to enter the USA for a Medical appointment.Why not make an appointment in the USA with a specialist, get a return email form the DR's office? Then cancel the appointment? That's what Mexicans are doing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they allowing people to fly in on a tourist visa? A friend's daughter wants to fly down to see how her mom is doing, will that be possible?

While they thought of this option it is a major hardship according to them. It may be time for them to consider selling their vehicles, trailer, and most other belongings, in order to make the move as economical as possible. After all, they will be living in Mexico, so one would assume that they have a Residente Temporal Visa, which will transition to Permanent in short order. As such, they would avoid the problem of returning a vehicle to Canada when they become Permanentes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyhauler 4u Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Sonia, maybe I can assist your clients. I have a truck, trailer and can drive to Canada get their possessions and bring them to their home in Mexico. Good competitive U-haul pricing.

Plus they have dogs and it is summer time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 "High season" may not be so high if Canadians are unable to drive down this winter. This thing looks to be lasting a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 We drove down with 3 mastiffs in July from San Francisco.. We left very early in the morning and stopped driving around 2 got a room and went for walks wth dogs in the evenng. To break the trip we stayed in Tucson for a couple of days, put the dogs n a kennel with A/C and that was a nice break for us.. It is possible... no problem.

Jubilacion Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 We're newbies and entered Mexico August 3, at the Colombia Solidarity International Bridge Crossing just outside of Laredo @ 08:30am. It could not have been much easier and had been recommended on some Facebook groups. We were literally the ONLY gringos at immigration and while getting our TIP. We never saw US CBP as we entered MX from the US. We drove on to Lakeside on toll-roads, overnighted in Matehuala at Las Palmas Hotel (nice, clean, safe retro Palm Springs-style hotel, very reasonable with a good restaurant) Great drive. No hassles. And as you've been reading ALL the hassles now are getting back INTO the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 We crossed at Santa Teresa several weeks ago after this took effect. It took 2 hours to get across but there were no special checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been multiple accounts on this board. of people crossing into Mexico by land during the "closure" with no problem. Perhaps you have direct knowledge of someone who was refused entry? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking for relevant information, and not conjecture which could send false information to readers of the thread. P.S. I have a lot more than 30 years dealing with Mexican bureaucracy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
