Trading my first cross border load

Some misdemeanors here are classified as felonies (or whatever they call'em) in Canada.

For example, I have a misdemeanor conviction for supplying alcohol to a minor. Can't go to Canada because of it. They consider it a felony (or whatever).

You need to find a legal type familiar with the laws of both nations.

 

I have the same conviction, no felonies. I'm curious to find out what happens.

 

I’m not a lawyer. And it’s soley up to the CBSA immigration officer who interviews you at Champlain. But your conviction in the states translates to a summary conviction(misdemeanour) here in Canada. Meaning if that is the only thing, and I mean the only thing on your record, then you should not be refused entry.

 

Just make sure you have 24 hours off in the last 14 days. That is part of their logs...

 

Not that I want to pry, I’m just trying to help... can you vaguely, without detail, list any criminal convictions since you were 18?

 

Canadian Immigration should be called before you get up there.

The big thing is that if you are simple possession at 18 and a can in your hand walking down the street, that's not a problem. HOWEVER, if you were in a car with that can.. it becomes potentially a DUI and thus is a felony.

Im going to think you will be fine for Canada. on simple possession. But call their Border or visit them online and see for sure before you try getting across.
