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?
Actually a Canadian with a criminal indiscretion in his or her past is not allowed into the USA. Not unless they apply for special permission which is expensive, time consuming and only good for one trip. Jail time does not have to have been the result of the charges.
Sorry that your friend did not check his situation out before you headed North.
