Xinhua News Agency, Ottawa, April 15th, by reporter Wei Lin - The Canadian Association of University Teachers issued a warning to its members on its official website on the 15th, advising them not to go to the United States unless necessary.
The association said that in view of the rapid changes in the current political situation in the United States and the reports of individuals encountering difficulties at the border crossings, it strongly recommends that its members only travel to the United States when necessary.
The association reminded scholars from countries with tense relations with the United States or those who have made negative comments about the Trump administration to be particularly cautious when traveling to the United States. In addition, scholars whose research results may contradict the stance of the Trump administration and those who are transgender should also pay extra attention.
The association suggested that scholars should carefully consider what information they have or need on their electronic devices during border crossings and take measures to protect sensitive information if necessary.
The Canadian government recently updated its travel warning to the United States, reminding residents that they may face inspections by US border guards and even possible detention during border crossings.
The Canadian Association of University Teachers was founded in 1951 and represents 72,000 teachers, librarians, researchers, and other academic professionals in 125 universities and colleges across Canada.
