Subjects of her Majesty and Sovereign Americans do not mix well.
If Sovereign Americans get out of line Her Majesty has the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) Canada's National Police Force and Security Agency to take care of them. Remember the Mounties always get their man or woman.
Canada doesn't use the term Felony or Misdemeanor, if you can't get that right, I can pretty much guarantee the rest of your statement is also incorrect... and it is.
FYI our criminal offenses are either Indictable or Summary Conviction.

I agree that Phil was correct.
Generally, Canada Customs will check to see if the foreign offense that the person was convicted of, equates to a Canadian offense under one of our criminal statutes: the Criminal Code, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Firearms Act, and the Youth Criminal Justice Act. If there is an equivalent (there isn't always), then the person will not be admitted, but can apply for a waiver. Whether that application can take place on the spot, or whether the person must apply later through a Canadian consulate, I don't know.
But felonies and misdemeanors (and indictables and summary convictions), and the difference between them, don't enter into the picture. The question is, would the foreign criminal conviction equate to a Canadian criminal conviction under Canadian law?

Even our Brokeback Mounties do. Or should I say especially?
As long as you don't have a felony you can travel freely between Canada and the USA. Working is different obviously.
I hate to break it to you, but you are WRONG! The jerks at the Canadian border stopped a relative of mine from entering Canada after they did a record search and found he had lost his drivers license THIRTY NINE YEARS PRIOR. Don't try to argue with me that this was not the case, I know it for a fact. They can deny you entry for any reason they want.
Sure!!! I'm all for dumping those jerks that do nothing but give you a hard time at the border!!! The USA should annex Canada and drop the name altogether..... ehhh?
