minus-squareTIEPilot@lemmy.worldBannedBanned from communitylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down6·3 months agoThere is a whole list of crimes that bar you from entering Canada. I had a buddy try to go snowmobiling and was denied because he had a dui 25+ earlier. Thats a misdemeanor in the US. https://www.ezbordercrossing.com/the-inspection-experience/prior-criminal-offenses/u-s-crimes-and-canadian-equivalent/ Apply that to the world and you can see why they barred so many people.
minus-squareotp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·3 months ago a dui 25+ earlier. Thats a misdemeanor in the US. 25+ years earlier is silly to block someone, but if “misdemeanor” means minor crime, that’s fucked up. Anyway, the US turns away people who have ever used weed in their lives. In Canada, it’s legal to use it regularly.
minus-squareTIEPilot@lemmy.worldBannedBanned from communitylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 months agoOh its worse you want to be able to enter Canada w/ a prior DUI you can if you pay around $10k usd for a government pardon. And with the 10k spent doesn’t guarantee they will approve and will keep the money… So kiddo’s don’t get a DUI if you want to go to Canada. As for a simple DUI in the US its a minor crime. If you hit aggravated DUI you catch a felony and you’re fucked. Aggravated is a high BAC, minor in the car, DUI crash with or without injuries, excessive speed while under the influence. There are more, the Police have plenty of ways to burn you hard if you are do something this stupid. I know so much as my buddy would bitch up a storm about us going up to go fishing and he can’t go.

minus-squarerwrwefwef@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 months agoThat’s not the reason for these bans specifically. Here they are per-emptively denying access to prevent people from overstaying their visas.
