USA, Canada / Has anyone with a US or CDN passport recently been subjected to the "Passport Trap" in Poland? [29]
Little background, I was born in Poland and immigrated to Canada in 1990 when I was 5. Last time I had / traveled on a polish passport was in 99, even though I was already a citizen since 95. Fast forward to 2008 I travel to Poland on a Canadian passport and have gone back in 2010, 2012, 2014, and going again in June. Now I've never had any issues with border officials in Poland as to why I do not have a polish passport, but lately the free polish newspapers here in Toronto have reported numerous times on dual cititizens being stopped from leaving until they obtain a polish passport. Question is, has anyone here personally had similar experiences recently or should I just chalk it up as slow news days for these "rags"? My mother has been breaking balls to get polish passports for the fan as she believes everything in these papers. Anyone?
