U.S. Border Security Scrutiny: Canadian Denied Entry Despite Decades-Old, Dropped Charges
Canadians have faced increased scrutiny at the U.S. border, with several individuals denied entry for various reasons, including past charges. In a recent incident, a Canadian man with no criminal record was detained for four hours due to a dropped charge from six years prior, highlighting the importance of documentation. U.S. Customs and Border Protection emphasizes that all travelers must prove their eligibility for entry and advises having documentation related to past legal issues. Global Affairs Canada confirms that it cannot intervene when entry requirements are not met, advising Canadians to be prepared for thorough inspections and potential denial of entry.
