Oh Canada… need help with entry : )

I’ve read the website, it doesn’t give an exact answer to every question

 

You guys aren’t so random, this is a forum where you can ask questions and also a place with truckers who have been in my exact situation and drivers who may be from and or cross into Canada everyday. And I’ve gotten useful advice from some of the commenters here before.

 

I got a misdemeanor, my employer was a consistently went to Canada and wanted to know if I could go. I knew before taking the job that they went there and was excited at the opportunity. So I went and got my twic and passport. Within a month of taking the job I got a misdemeanor and informed them. They kept me on but wanted to know if I could go to Canada still. I couldn’t get a clear answer over the phone or from the official websites, some things like here are at the discretion of the officer so it was best to try to go. So after dropping a load near Detroit I reserved a rental which is a whole sub story. Got to Ambassador bridge, wasn’t sure to hand over passport or license. Got cussed out and asked the same question over and over. Got detained and rental searched. I’ve never been arrested but they never asked. Sat for a few hours then was pulled into a room where the officer explained they found my recent misdemeanor and that they would have treated it differently in Canada. Gave me paperwork and stated not to come back before said and documented date.
