USC denied entry into Canada

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

Saturday afternoon me and a co-worker/friend drove from Seattle to Vancouver to have a boys night out. Well, at the border they wouldn't let my friend in because he had a DUI back in 2005. They said he couldn't come back until 2010. #######?

More importantly, how TF did they find out about his DUI?

More than likely the US and Canada are sharing data and criminal convictions are public record.

Better to just EWI and just skip the POE. There is a boatload of twits at VJ that think this is the hip and trendy way to enter a foreign country now-a-days. LoL

Same goes for canucks going to the USA with DUI records! Some make it through some don't!

Canada and the US have been sharing police records for several years now. As soon as they scan or enter your ID information at a border crossing, they can see if you have a record. Stuff like DUI makes you automatically inadmissable to Canada until 5 years after the conviction. And then I think you may need to file a rehabilitation form to be considered admissable.

Same goes for Canadians coming to the US. If they have a criminal record, they're inadmissable.

Yeah, I have seen some of that - although probably from a different stance than what you're referring to. Phrases like "I should have just sent <insert SO name> to Mexico and met them in the desert as it would be easier than going the K1 route" comes to mind.

I knew it wouldn't be long for my statement to be misinterpreted. For clarity :

The twits are those who seem to think that there is preferential treatment given to illegals. The twits also seem to think entering as EWI is some great plan rather than waiting for the legal route to go through. I see it all the time - people posting sarcastically that doing the EWI route would be so much easier than legally. Its utterly ridiculous.

I appreciate the clarification LaL, I really do.

Thanks, L.

We were in my car and they asked us if we had been to Canada before (other questions too.... where, when, hotel?). I said yes and he said no. Then they asked us to pull over, park and see an immigration officer. The officer asked us if we had any problems with the law. My friend said yes. Not that lying would have helped. She looked both of us up on her computer. From the sound of it other people were having similar problems next to us.

I'm not sure if the additional inspection was random or not.

Canadians don't drink, only in years ending in zero. Thus the reason he will be allowed to enter in 2010. Doesn't everyone know that?

I guess the folks I drink with when I'm in Toronto and all the others hanging in the bars aren't Canadians. They sure fooled me.
