Canadian customs and felonies
 

I want to travel to canada with a friend who has a marijuana felony from 10 years ago...will they deny him entrance if flying into a big airport? I know it is a law now because of 9/11 but do they actually look up everyone's record when you get there?

I wouldn't worry if its weed, canada doesn't aknowledge that as an offense. :stoned

Everything i am finding with google is saying it's a no-no

when his friend is turned back at the airport can he quote you?

definitely ask a Canadian attorney beforehand.

huh ???

Where have you been ??

If its a felony conviction , its up to the border guards.

Remember they dont have access to american criminal records , so just dont say anything and if they ask if you have a felony say nope. If you do that , i would say you have a 50/50 chance , higher if your white.

I thought the US and canadian databses were accessible by one another....

I would be more worried about going BACK to the USA ... :)

Yes theY do look up everything now.

However - I doubt he will be stopped from entry.

A growing majority of Canadians want to LEGALIZE pot.
It's the fucking USA dollars that have pressured us not to.

IMO

PS: I'm drug free.

lol ...

exactly ...

So they do look up your records there to make sure you dont have anything on your record?

Your freind can pre allpy for permission to enter, takes a few weeks and like 100$ I think

Here's a link that explains the prceedure:
