As a persona non grata because of a conviction in 1977, I am not allowed in canuck land...even though my civil rights have been restored since 1977.
I am allowed to vote and I own and can legally buy firearms.
But no, can’t go to canuck land.
F the queen
Queens can go there and F.
That’s too bad, but no different than how Canadians with convictions (even if they’re been pardoned in Canada) are treated when trying to enter the US. BTW, if you were truly interested you could get a chit (Minister’s letter of rehabilitation, or something like that) which would allow you. And which you only need to get once and is good for life. As opposed to the waiver of inadmissibility (due to criminal convictions, etc) for entry to the US - which costs USD$565, and the longest one granted (after getting them multiple times) is for 5 years. Oh, you can also “blame” the US and Canadian governments for sharing their federal police records systems, which allows border officials to find out about any convictions. We are probably the only two countries in the world to share information at that level - I’ll be that Mexico doesn’t.
