If you have a criminal record for anything else, it will show up when they swipe your passport at the border. You get a ride on the charges unless it's seen as fleeing.Traveling to canada with criminal case pending?
People can get turned back at the border for a host of reasons including that the officer made a judgement call based on the person's demeanor and the guard's gut feelings. With things like arrest records and criminal records being so easily accessed, I am going to guess the odds of your being refused entry are going to be fairly high. But you might want to check this page out. There are some good pointers on visiting.

About Escobar - I'm going to guess that he has been living in a fog all his life. Perhaps he is a fraud artist himself and for absolute sure he has never been a victim of fraud or he would not write such trash.
Just to clear up something, weed and prostitution aren't legal in Canada. A person can possess a small amt of weed for their own use or for medicinal reasons and prostitution...of course it isn't.





As for the criminal case, it sounds like you don't have a record yet but the other poster is right about the travelling restrictions.
As long as you have not been convicted, you do not have a criminal record. The only thing you need to be sure of, is that the country in which you are charged has not put any travel restrictions on you as part of any bail (or other legal) requirements.
If you have not yet been convicted, you can still go. Just be sure you have a valid passport and don't try any funny business with credit cards or theft while you are in Canada
IANAL, but I guess some things that are ';criminal'; in US are not necessarily ';criminal'; in Canada!


Weed and prostitution, for example :)





I hope credit card fraud get's removed from the criminal list! I mean aren't there more important ';issues'; to tackle like terrorism - instead of imprisoning your whole population for small offenses :D
