I was told that by a friend who goes there every year for a fishing trip. He said that due to the nature of my law trouble I could never be allowed in the country? He could've been wrong but I've never tried.

Just to cross the border for a visit shouldn't be a problem... we let lots of people in with pretty dicey pasts! Likely, and I don't know your story... likely, way worse than you... Bill Clinton for instance!

Ok that is interesting. What I have is a relatively small drug charge on my record, but what my friend said was that any drug charge would keep you out of Canada. It sounds like he was wrong or just messing with me. Lacking wisdom is not my only failing I guess.

RE: Cat out of the bag... |

I certainly doubt that would keep you out... we have so many people being deported with records back home, etc... I mean, we let musicians in and athletes with lots of issues, The NFL kicks out Ricky Williams for a year for marijuana use and we said, "Come on up!"
I doubt that you'd be held out... but I'm not a customs/immigration expert!

I am thinking that incident of which you speak took place well over ten years ago.

It should not be a problem to come into the country. I have several friends with small drug charges that are here with minor drug charges and they got study permits and work visas. I think as long as its not major its fine.
PS: here is what i love about BC! The other day we went to a party and their was an atheist, two Christians (Erin and I), a Jewish convert and a young Muslim from Pakistan. We had the best time. Erin grew up in an Islamic neighborhood and most of her friends are muslim so ive been able to learn so much!
Thats how cool Canada is!

I'm still waiting for the punch line...
