Criminal Past?

Wow, read this SF Gate article (no reg required).

Basically, previous convictions here in the US of A can get you barred from travelling into Canada. Anything from DUI to 25 year pot bust.

This is part of an agreement between US and Canada. But soon to be expanded to other countries.

Same goes from travelling from Canada to the USA. I knew of a fellow that got utned back trying to enter the USA because he had a drug charge. The part that sucked--was that he was a long haul truck driver!!

Actually, nothing new about it (nor about its reverse, a Canada conviction being a potential bar to US entry) whatsoever.

the "new" part apparently is the beefed up enforcement from the Canadians coupled with the data mining capabilities.

Beefed-up? :lol:

(as the RCMP has not failed to botch every task since 1985, the thought of "beefing-up" on their part is rather funny)

yeah, this is nothing new at all. My husband was barred from entering Canada way back in 2001 because he's got a juvenile theft charge on his record. Stupid thing is, according to the Canadian law, a juvenile charge doesn't matter, and he should be allowed in. But, the local county courthouse misfiled it, so it looks like an adult charge when they run his ID. And we can't get the courthouse to fix the filing error, because they "can't find" the orginal file

So, even though my husband had traveled to Canada on several occasions before he'd been banned, now that he has been banned, he's not allowed back until we sort out teh paperwork. Which is a pain in the ###, because CIC kept losing it and we just gave up. Which is why I'm here in the US.

And, not only can my husband not go to Canada to visit my family, my sister's husband cannot come to the US to visit us, because he has an assault charge on his record, making him inadmissable to the US.

If they start file sharing with the rest of the world, we'll be stuck in the US because my hubby won't be able to travel anywhere. Which will genuinely suck.

Parents, teach your children well. If they get a record, they won't be able to go visit their families in foreign countries!

And no drinking and driving or petty theft for you either!
