let's say "Tony" rides Amtrak to Montreal.... if the Canadian doesn't permit him/her entry, will he be stuck at the station at the border? Just wondering...
Whereupon you proceeded to punch her in the face?I didn't see any specifics about which types of crimes they consider "serious", but I will add that my friend was arrested for assault (she punched someone in a bar) three years before we went to Canada and didn't tell me about it. They discovered her record at the border, and we had to turn around and head back to Michigan.
I was piiiiiiissed. The Blue Water doesn't run that late, so I had to drive her all the way back to Lansing, where another friend graciously offered to meet us and drive her the rest of the way back to Kalamazoo so we could save two hours or so. My other friend and I turned back around and headed toward Toronto, our original destination. Instead of getting there at 10:00 PM, we got there at 4:00 AM. :angry:Whereupon you proceeded to punch her in the face?I didn't see any specifics about which types of crimes they consider "serious", but I will add that my friend was arrested for assault (she punched someone in a bar) three years before we went to Canada and didn't tell me about it.

Canadians entering the US can have the same problem. Just prior to 9/11, I had a friend turned back entering the US by car at Buffalo because of a refusing a breathalyzer test charge many years earlier. We had to drive back to the Canadian side where he filled out paperwork. We then went back to the US booths and were waved through.The problem for USA citizens seems to be that - old DUI are still a problem for CA.Any government can reject any person at any border for any reason or none. It's is Canada's privilege to deny entry to DUI convicts.
The problem is that, recently, the CA is trusting the USA central records - which may, or may not be correct.
Makes you wonder how any professional sports teams can cross the border into Canada. I suspect that the rules that apply to regular people do not apply to special people.The problem for USA citizens seems to be that - old DUI are still a problem for CA.Any government can reject any person at any border for any reason or none.

As was said in the great book, Animal Farm, "All animals are created equal, some are just more equal than others."Makes you wonder how any professional sports teams can cross the border into Canada.

Do you really think every American pro athlete has a criminal record?Makes you wonder how any professional sports teams can cross the border into Canada. I suspect that the rules that apply to regular people do not apply to special people.
Only southbound for US Customs. Nothing is done at the border for Canada's clearance process.But on the Cascades train there is a "screening" of sorta at the actual border. If you didn't have a passport with you, or something didn't pan out with the brief questioning, you would just be taken off the train right there at the border i imagine.
Not only sports teams. Back about 20 years ago, the University of Minnesota here (or was it the Minnesota Daily)Makes you wonder how any professional sports teams can cross the border into Canada.
