[pct-l] Entering Canada

Remember any government is full of  bureaucrats and each one will interpret 
the same rule THEIR way. I have a  friend who lives in Vermont and has a 
DWI on his record (over 5 years ago). He  needed to go to Canada on his job. 
He went up to the border and met with the  Agents. He filled out some forms 
and generally jumped through whatever hoops  they wanted. I'm not sure if he 
got clearance  that day or if there  were any fees, but now he can cross the 
border anytime.

Hello  Everyone,

I just got a response from the Canadian Border Services  Agency denying my
application to enter Canada via the PCT based on a  misdemeanor on my record
from 10 years ago. I was honest on the application  and explained it to
them. Apparently, NO ONE is allowed to enter Canada if  they have ANY kind
of record, no matter how minor it is. Ever. Bummer. Does  anyone have
experience with this? Any strategies as far as reaching the  U.S.- Canadian
border and turning around? Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks,  Mark
