    Did you get the following text message yet from your cell phone provider?
    "Welcome to Canada. We are going to bankrupt you with international data roaming charges."

    It’s a felony, so there’s no timeline. It’s dependant on your entire criminal history.

    There is a time frame for deemed rehabilitation.

    You may be deemed rehabilitated, depending on:
    • the crime you committed
    • how serious the crime was and how much time has passed since you completed the sentence imposed for your crime:
      • 10 years for one indictable offence
      • five years for two or more summary convictions
    • whether you have committed one or more crimes and
    • if the crime would be punishable in Canada by a maximum prison term of less than 10 years.
    Find out about:

    - Deemed rehabilitation - Canada.ca

    - Overcome criminal convictions - Canada.ca

    FYI for our American friends, types of offences:
    • misdemeanor = summary
    • felony = indictable

    I did, but my plan includes unlimited international text, 2gb of data at 3g speeds, but calls are 20cents per minute

    They won't find anything on my criminal history. They'd have to pull up my lifetime mvr to find anything.

    Military bases say if they can't find anything. Canada won't be able to either.

    It's not us you have to convince
    It's whichever officer is at the booth that day
    And don't be surprised if they know if you wipe back to front or front to back
     
    Gunner75 Thanks this.
