If I received a summons and fine for failure to pay train fare in 2003, will I be denied entry into Canada?
I recently read an article about people with very minor, and old criminal records being turned away at the border. For example, a guy going on a ski trip was denied entry into Canada because he had an old possession charge from the 70s, someone else was denied entry because they had a DWI about 10 years ago.
In 03, I got arrested for riding a commuter train without a ticket, went to court, paid a fine and that was the end of it. But my girlfriend and I are planning a trip to Montreal soon, and I don’t want to be turned away at the border.
How carefully do they scrutinize your record crossing the border. Do they do it to everybody, or just randomly. I know there is an application for “Pardon from the ministry”. If one is ineligibble for entry into Canada, and applies for one of those, how likely is approval?
Just wondering…
It would suck having a nice vacation ruined for an idiotic mistake a few years ago. Yeah, I know, I should have thought of that at the time…….
no you will not be turn away for a commuter train ticket first it not a
criminal offense it not paying for the fare so fare evasion it a transportation act so that will not block you from coming into canada
