Entrance in to canada with neg driving fist degree?

Question

I have this on my recond from about 5-6 years ago. It's not a felony and I've had no problems going Seattle- Victoria in '06 by boat but I'm a little nervous crossing the border by car.

Answer 1

It is kind of unpredictable.  The cheapest is IF the conviction and any associated punishment was finished over 5 years ago, you could hope to be "deemed rehabilitated" by the customs officer when crossing.  I believe you would be likely to get in.  But there isn't accurate detail in your question.  Like if it was 4 years ago, and you received a year's probation, it is too recent.

or for a more definite answer, you could pay the fee and fill out the forms and have your answer down on paper.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is not clear cut as you did not say what your offence was.  Even if it is not considered a felony in the US, it may be considered a felony in Canada, and it is Canada's law that would apply.  Depending on what the charge was, you may enter with no problem, but you may not.  A sure way to get it taken care of for the future is to apply for a Minister's Approval of Rehabilitation.   Here are links that may be of some help to you.  Best of luck with getting it sorted out.
