Documents obtained by Global News show Global Affairs Canada knew it was facing criticism from Canadians days into the federal election over a “lack of information’s” on travel advice to the United States .

The department was aware Canadians were concerned about visiting the U.S. , but federal officials lagged non-governmental organizations in providing citizens with guidance on the risk of searches of electronics and the possibility of detention.

Canada updated its travel advisory on April 4 urging Canadians to “expect scrutiny” from US border agents.

An internal memo contained a “sentiment scan of the comments” and included calls for Global Affairs Canada “to update the risk level for travel to the U.S. , questions about registration and ICE/Border Patrol (fear of detainment, phone searches.)” Jain would like to see more detailed advice in the current travel advisory to the United States .

“We shouldn’t be alarmist. Many Canadians are able to travel to travel and face no issues”.
