    Well I mean if your a US citizen I am sure the Border patrol isn't going to be up the arse about you coming back home, or am I wrong? I herd most companies that send out drivers to Canada have some sort of program called fast? Anyone willing to chime on this?

    Why is it sad? I mean if ex cons did their time, and paid their price why not get a second chance? I am pretty sure you wasn't a saint throughout your life, so spare me the religious BS.:biggrin_2551:

    no its not easy to get into canada with a criminal record--a dui will bar entry
    and yes--if you are going back into us--it can be rough--be prepared to prove you are us citizen
    a simple passport will work ok--but a fast card is better--you can apply on line---just google it
    with a fast card--its pretty much hi and bye if the all the other paper work is ok

    ok, I agree in this way,

    my mind read it as criminal, as in current. It is easier to slip into Canada, than into the U.S.

    carry on with the regular broadcast...................

    What's the difference with a fastcard, and passcard isn't it the same? I have my passport and passcard.

    What you need is a "Queens Pardon". Don't ask me why they call it this. There are I think 5 or 6 crossings that you can do this in person. I don't know the specifics on this, but I know that dui's are forgiven after so many years. I think its like 8, but don't quote me on this. I don't know if you can get in with a felony. Google the "Emerson" crossing in Minnesota for the phone number. I know they do in person and can answer all your questions. Good luck
     
    HouseOfPain Thanks this.
