If so, are you actually working both sides routinely?

There is an Mohawk Indian Reservation in Quebec that adjoins a similar reserve in New York State. The tribe members consider it all one, and they move back and forth across the international boundary within their land freely.?ÿ I suppose that would be the most likely place to find a dual registrant working both sides.

I don't know what the Mohawk's policy is, but they may not require a New York license.?ÿ

I have worked on both sides but am only licenced on one. I looked into adding a Canadian licence. Not easy but doable.?ÿ

Working both sides routinely would take a specific set of circumstances. There are probably a couple out there.

While not licensed in Canada, I did some work for the INS along the border after 911.?ÿ It required a bit of coordination with the station chiefs on both sides.?ÿ I will say the northern side was much easier to deal with, I had an underling almost pull a gun on me at Lynden, WA.?ÿ Apparently she had not gotten the word from here boss at a shift change that I would be on site.?ÿ She threatened to detain me even with a fancy letter from her superiors in DC.?ÿ At another site one of the officers went ballistic on us for taking photos not 5 minutes after the station chief had an all staff meeting where everyone was informed that we had cart blanche.?ÿ I felt pretty bad for the guy as his boss ripped him apart (he was stupid enough to hassle us in front of the chief).?ÿ
