Check for criminal record when crossing the border into Canada
I don't know if this is the right ng to ask about checks on
visitors/temporary residents when they enter Canada via air or land. I have been interested in this area for a while due to numerous articles about foreign criminals in Canada. I am aware of the API system now in use by Immigration and Customs officers when visitors enter Canada on airlines, etc. It is about time. When visitors cross the border what files are checked exactly? For example, I assume they are checking for outstanding warrants, wanted criminals, etc. I suppose they could also be checking for anyone with a criminal record too but given the number of people with criminal records just in the U.S. not to mention elsewhere, I was wondering if this is also automatically checked before passengers go through Customs? Given the sheer numbers of potential visitors, is every foreign visitor checked for having a record? If anyone has any info on this, I would appreciate hearing from you. |
