If you have a felony outside of Canada and Customs Canada knows about it then you are banned for life (lifted with some PITA *paper work from a court) from entering Canada. And while the things you did in the States may only be misdemeanors there, something may be considered a felony-like crime in Canada. You'd better check with Customs Canada.

i would think so, since you have no felonies. but since 9/11 who knows.

I would imagine there would be no issue as long as you've already served your time and there isn't an active warrant out for your arrest or your not on the terrorist watch list or have TB or something. Oh never mind they allow TB patients to travel the world these days!!! LOL

Hello,

I am unaware of any Immigration Policy in Canada that prohibits visitors from the USA or any other country, that have a misdemeanor or misdemeanors on his or her record.

You may not be allowed and now that the No Fly policy's is in effect (Canada & States), it would be a slim chance to fly.
When did you get these charges? Go for a pardon see if that works.

yes, you will probably be allowed in with those types of convictions. If they ask be honest though because if you lie and they find out then you almost certainly won't be allowed in and you might be banned for years to come for lying to them.

Misdemeanours are Convictions! You were convicted of a crime, therefore you aren't allow in! Period, A crime is a crime, deal with it after all maybe next time you will think twice about making theses few misdemeanour convictions.
It is a privilege to be in Canada as well as a Canadian to travel in your Country. If you took those few misdemeanours
conviction this lightly what next are you going to take lightly as for crime.
Canada as well as your country doesn't want or need any more criminals, our plates are full.
Just stay at home, keep it in your country and watch COPS.

Sure. That has nothing to do with anything.
As long as you have a birth certificate and photo id if driving and passport if flying.
