Many people that live in the United States of America are stunned when they realize they are inadmissible to Canada for offenses that are only misdemeanors in the USA. In addition to misdemeanor DUI, Americans can be denied entry for fishing off limits, trespassing, reckless driving, negligent driving, and possession of cocaine or other drugs. Since Canadian border officials often do not have your entire criminal record, they will only know that you were charged with an offense but will sometimes not know that you were found not guilty or plead to a lesser charge. Because of this, many Americans who were sentence for an offence but never convicted are still denied entry into Canada. If you’re in this situation, consider getting a legal opinion from a popular Canadian immigration lawyer who will be able to apply a Canadian law equivalency test to your offense to determine your eligibility in entering Canada. If you are in fact inadmissible, an attorney can then assist with the convoluted criminal rehab program to permanently resolve your entry issue, or with a TRP application to allow you to enter Canada for a temporary period of time. In order to strengthen your chances of being allowed to go to Canada, an experienced lawyer can tweak your application so it presents as compelling a reason as possible for why Canada should allow you to be a guest.
Fishing tourism and hunting tourism are two major industries in Canada that are suffering because of the strict rules Americans face at the border. The Canadian tourism industry has been lobbying the government to relax their DUI entry rules so that more US citizens and residents can travel up north to hunt and fish without too much difficulty.
