Please note my friends problem was over 40 years ago and he paid for his indescretions 40 years ago . Here in the States people are given a second chance and not thrown out with the dishwater. What does Canada do with their people who have paid for their problems ?????? kick em out an tell them don't come back?
Your country will also stop someone from entering with a 40 year old felony conviction. In fact, the US is more difficult to get into with this. Before you go makeing statements about how it works in Canada you should check your facts. If one bad experience at one border crossing is all it takes for you to decide to stay in the US, Stay there.
