Had it happen way to often w/interlop. when entering Canada. You say you own land or property to get in. But better own it! I did.

No issues.

Don't know about old history?

I was once entering SSM, Canada side. Asked (first time ever that ??) if I was ever fingerprinted. Said yes (Spupick) , another round in the station for Interpol check-up. Took an hour but they had a car to tear apart. I gather High alert that day.

And if you have a firearms purchaser's card or carry card, leave it home. I got hassled once when they saw it in my wallet. Asked me if I was in Canada to buy guns.

Anybody ever watch the show Border Patrol? It's on Discovery I think and it shows the Canadian customs agents in Vancouver at the airport, marine port, and road crossing.

They always run back up checks and find out when people have had arrests. They frequently turn away people who have a DUI on their record.

Seriously though? A DUI from 20 years ago makes you a huge threat to the Canadian population? We'll let practically anybody from a foreign country move here and abuse our healthcare system but god forbid an American with a DUI from eons ago should be let in. Canada needs to get that stick out of their ***.

They can get a passport, but can't get through Canadian Customs with any kind of record.

Also, no CHL going into Canada.

It's the same both ways. Canadians can't get into the states if they've had a dui or any kind of record.

Advice on how to cross the border if you have a checkered past is all over the place . I guess this is what happens when you have non-uniform polices that are enforced by border guards that have case- by- case discretion. My question for you Teflon is does your friend tell the border guard about his past DUI or does he dummy up ?
