Can I enter Canada with a drug conviction?
Here is the official Canada Immigration website (link below), stating their policy regarding inadmissibility. Essentially, if you have been convicted of ANY crime, no matter how minor, you can be found inadmissible. Usually, if more than five years have passed since the conviction, and there have been no other blemishes, they will not turn you away. But you should confirm with a Canadian consulate near you. You can also apply for a special status known as “deemed rehabilitated” by filling out a form and paying the processing fee. Also, depending on your nationailty, you may need a visa. US residents don’t need a visa, nor do residents of the UK.
