I am a U. S. Customs and Border Protection Officer on the southwest border between Mexico and the United States. I know the ins and outs of the job as seen on TV/News and things intentionally hidden from the media! There's more to this job than "Anything to declare?" I dont know all but I'll do my best to answer any questions you have! All answers are my opinion, and my opinion only!
If your flight does not touch down on US soil at any point in time, you will not see a CBP Officer. Now, if your flight from Toronto connected to, say Miami, then Cancun, you would then see a CBP Officer.

I am glad I could help you. It is much better to take care of this issue now before trying to enter the United States.
Good luck!

I believe there is a two year waiting period to take the polygraph again. The unfortunate thing is, the polygraph eliminates too many good people. I would recommend trying again after the two years!

When you apply for CBP, you are allowed to select the border you want to work at. When they are ready to hire you, they will call you and give you a list of locations to choose from.
Also, there are no restrictions on traveling outside the United States as an officer.

You need to ask yourself the following question, "If an American citizen came to my country for X many months and comes back X weeks later to stay X many months again, is he really just visiting?"
This what every officer thinks about when seeing someone with a history of remaining in the US for extended periods of time. Every officer calculates "Is this alien spending more time inside this country than outside?"
Theres no clear answer to your question, you just need to make sure your not spending more time inside the US than outside.

A Visa Waiver applicant (VWP) cannot be placed under removal proceedings. The process of removing a Visa Waiver alien is called a Visa Waiver Refusal under section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. To put it simply, it basically means we want you to go back to your country and apply for a visa because based on the facts presented, we will not allow you to enter under VWP status.
You should only be presented with a copy of the sworn statement.
