Canada Has Access To USA Criminal Records
Her's some examples of your USA records at work:
CBSA officers reported that on March 3, a United States resident sought entry into Canada to work in Alberta.
While attempting to enter Canada at North Portal, it was noted he had previously been granted work permits in Canada, but background checks also revealed a recent conviction for driving while under the influence of alcohol, so he was refused entry.
The man returned to the port a couple of days later seeking to obtain documents to apply for a pardon so CBSA officers explained that he was not eligible to apply for a pardon, but he was advised on how to properly apply from outside Canada once he became eligible. He then returned to the U.S.
On March 6, a commercial truck driver from Wisconsin arrived at the port of entry and when a background check was made it was revealed the man had previous convictions including child abuse and three counts of battery so he was refused entry into Canada.
On the same day, a North Dakota-based commercial driver was refused entry due to a serious criminal record that included theft of government property, obstructing police and probation violation. He, too, was returned to the U.S.
On March 12, a South Dakota resident operating a commercial truck was referred for secondary examination based on his vague responses to a series of primary questions. While examining the sleeper area of the transport truck, CBSA officers found a disassembled .40 calibre handgun. The gun was seized and the man paid a $1,000 penalty before returning to the U.S.
