Canadian Border Issues Pretty Much Solved

[Sunset Country]

Hi all, Gerry Cariou, Executive Director of Ontario's Sunset Country Travel Association posting. I have great news for Americans with ONE minor criminal conviction e,g. DUi who may have been refused entry to Canada. Again this applies only if you have 1 conviction - more than one old rules apply.

Here is an intial newspaper article about the changes in policy, I will post more info as I get it from the Government of Canada

Regards to all.

It was a bitter pill Gord, but better now than never...

There is no downside to this from my perspective, so please pass the news on to everyone you know and ask them to do the same.

Regards

We are just one group going to one town for one week. We will bring an additional 2 people due to this policy. Additional $ to the outfitter, extra lodging & restaurants. The $ envolved across Canada for all towns is unimaginable. Congaratulations maybe some of the empty motels & restaurants up the 400 will be revived!!!

Wish the US border do the same. I have a couple of friends that can't cross the border because of small things that happen 30 years ago.

But I doubt we will see that for coming in the US

Andre, It is NOT my intention to make this political. Can you tell me what little things your friends did 30 years ago that keeps them out of the U.S. I always here about the U.S. citizen that can not get in to Canada but have never thought of it the other way around. Please enlighten me. Thanks, Jay

Pass me a beer :-)

before you all get too excited I'd wait to see the OFFICIAL government release. So Far these reports are from tiny little newspapers without any real facts or anything in writing to explain exactly what they are planning to do.
