US Immigration - Can You Cross The Border If You Have a Criminal Record?

[wainber]

The Australian incoming passenger card goes beyond its Canadian or American counterpart by requiring anyone who is a non-citizen to declare whether he or she has a criminal record. Selecting "no" on that card by someone with a criminal record can mean hopping on the 1st available flight back to the person's home country.

What about an arrest for a bag of potato chips and charges withdrawn and fingerprints deleted can you still go to the US? In Canada it's theft under 5, 000 which is a huge sounding charge it means somebody who can steal a diamond necklace worth $4, 500 is the same charge as opening a bag of potato chips in a grocery store

My friend Sasha is an american and she wants to come live in canada in the next year. but when she was 18 (now 25) she got arrested for criminal mischief for breaking her parents phone but only spent one night in jail and that was it. will she have a problem with coming ti canada because of this?

[rosieposie]

I got arrested for 'assault' which was touching a bouncers face, even though his buddy had just pushed me violently, bear in mind I am a 5ft 4in 49 yr old woman, I was pushed to accept the conviction as I was vulnerable (grieving) at the time, how would this affect my wish to travel to USA in 2 years time?

[chelmdel]

If I got an assault level four charge in the US dismissed can I enter Canada?

[FeedbackUtoday]

funny that assault is not considered important but marijuana is considered so much more dangerous. Legal system is quite subjective in reality
