Visa Canada Immigration

I have a friend that has a felony. We would like to go to Vancouver, BC together. Is there an unmanned cross?

He is a US citizen. I am a Canadian citizen. Want him to visit a few times, tired of always driving to Seattle. He was stopped at the border before and told he couldn’t come into Canada. But there has to be some Ferry, Seaplane, Camp road, or unmanned crossing we can use. He’s not a mass murderer, and has served his time in the US.

The problem is that he is criminally inadmissible because of his past, however, he does have a way to overcome it.

He should goto the Canadian consulate in Seattle and apply for rehabilitation, to show that he leads a stable life and unlilely to be involved in any further criminal activity. It takes about a year, so he should apply ASAP. It will cost anywhere from $200 to $1000 to apply, depending on the seriousness. Here is more info on it:

However he is only eligible to apply if 5 years have passed since:

1. the criminal act was committed; or
2. the end of the sentence imposed for that criiminal act

whichever is LATER.

There is also deemed rehabilitation and you can find more information about it in the link I gave you earlier.
