Crossing into Canada with a possibly criminal record
Hello,
I am new and was referred to this site by my TA.
I have been doing some research and found out that if one has a criminal history they will not be permitted into Canada. We have booked a 14 day Alaska cruise that will board in Vancouver. My DH has been charged with a misdemeanor and instead of fighting it in court and spending thousands of dollars to fight it our Attorney feels it would be best just to take a Diversion instead. This means no probation but has to stay out of trouble for 1 year and this will be dropped off of his record. We are due to leave before the 1 year period...
So can anyone tell me if he will be denied from getting into Canada?
I called the US and Canadian Consulate and were told by both that it would be up to the officer there. But please understand that spending all that money then being denied to enter because the officer there that day decides tough luck buddy no can do.
Can someone please tell me what can I do about this? Also the Canadian C. also said they do not have Diversions in Canada.
