I cross into Canada a lot. I've been doing it for over 10 years. Then suddenly a couple of months ago I get asked if I had ever been arrested. I said no. Then the next tine I crossed they pulled me into the office and asked again. I said no. Then the guy asked me '"what about that time in 1998? " I said I had just about forgotten about that and didn't count it because a judge dismissed it. He let me in without asking any more questions.
But the reason it got dismissed was because I was wrongly accused of being delusional so I was found incompetent to stand trial then found insane. They held me for 2 years in a psych hospital and attempted to force drug me with haldol. When they couldn't get an order to do that they let me go with no conditions. Now WTF am I going to say if they start asking detailed questions? Canadian people have been denied entry to the US for mental health reasons - US gets Canadian records. I don't know if Canada gets US records. I have read that sometimes you have to get a certificate of rehabilitation to enter Canada. But I'm not talking to another shrink after what those a-holes put me through. I am calling my lawyer tomorrow.
