Sally Forth Posted March 1, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think they mean unpaid ones. Our country is pretty liberal. Most of the border control issues are coming from US Homeland Security. Viv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Gopher Posted March 1, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 1, 2007 From their website: Those who have received TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS (including parking/speeding tickets, etc.) and other minor violations (i.e. littering, etc.) most likely will NOT be prohibited from entering Canada.

Ephraim Posted March 1, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 1, 2007 DUI will. We take that very seriously in Canada. The computer information is coming from the US Department of Homeland Security. You can thank the US War on Terrorism for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanineM Posted March 1, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 1, 2007 oops..forgot the change in government..the old one not only would have let you in they would have given you a Canada Council Art grant to do assassinations as performance art LOL!!!! And then CBC-TV would have done an hour long special on you, and a five part autobiography on CBC-Radio! Seriously - I read the official wording, and it appears to me that those who are in danger are primarily people with drug offences. So that misdemeanor for a doobie back in 1975 may come back to bite you now ... I suspect this will go the way of a lot of the other regulations. When enough people complain, someone in Ottawa will back down. Better yet - when some major US star or a politician is denied entry, all heck will break loose!

When enough people complain, someone in Ottawa will back down. Better yet - when some major US star or a politician is denied entry, all heck will break loose! They are looking at misdemeanours. Frankly, the US/Canada border has become a battleground for absolutely no good reason. Both sides are treating the citizens with disrespect. (And I'm not even going to go into the Arar case and Rice's promise about cooperation except when it comes to solving that particular case).

Lewdog Posted March 1, 2007 #13 Share Posted March 1, 2007 So that misdemeanor for a doobie back in 1975 may come back to bite you now Really? I thought the US was the only "modern" country with such arcane drug laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He applied for, and got, a pardon, so he could go to the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUEICE Posted March 1, 2007 #15 Share Posted March 1, 2007 From what I heard, even if somebody got a pardon for any crime does not give them permission to enter Canada. The same goes for a Canadian trying to get into the USA. I know several people who got denied entry to the US because of a impaired driving charge back in the 60's and another person for under $50.00 shoplifting charge. Both had pardons from Canada but they were told that pardons don't mean a row of beans to the USA and not permitted back into the USA unless they apply for a waiver for a nice fee............ I wonder if the drug runners, murderers and child porno perverts have the same kind of problems trying to get into the other country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtgirl Posted March 1, 2007 #19 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Well, it may not have been just a pardon, but whatever he got, he has had no problem entering the states. He even lived there for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cds2423 Posted March 1, 2007 #20 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I find it interesting that now that Canada may have adopted some stricter regulations at our borders for our U.S. friends there's a problem. Since 9-11, the situation at U.S. border crossing for Canadians has changed immensly, now i'm not saying it's a bad thing, but we've been dealing with it for years, now all of a sudden the tables are turned & things aren't necessarily so nice. I'm in the transport business and over the years we've had Canadian truck drivers refused entrance at US customs for minor offences that they might have encountered in their youth. I think we'd all agree that we want to make our world a better safer place but i think that our Government is just catching up with yours. It may suck but that's the way it is, IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsgirl Posted March 1, 2007 #21 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Thanks to stricter border regulations and probably line-ups, we'll be leaving very early in the morning to make it over the border as we drive to port. JUST in case of any issues going into the states and back out of the states. Either way...I love Canada & there is no place like her. I swear, when I'm in the states, I pretty much hold my breath the entire time I'm there, and let out a big sigh of relief when I'm back over the border. Good o'l Canada!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keasc Posted March 1, 2007 #22 Share Posted March 1, 2007 It's nice that people with misdemeanors from 30-40 years ago will have a problem getting into the US from Canada, but our government is doing nothing about all the illegals that have entered & are still entering from Mexico.

Murf@sea Posted March 2, 2007 #25 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Its all very funny but FYI, should you have any outstanding tickets there is a bench warrent issued. This means when they swipe your documents through their little computer they will show up. YOu will be stopped and detained and fined. Good luck to all you speed chasers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
