"REturning to Canada"

Hi, I have a question about coming into Canada from US. I am a US citizen, and here is my situation. On August of 2000 I was arrested for possesion of a Controlled Dangerous Substance and was put into a first time offenders program. When the program is completed in about 4-5 months it will not be on my record. I have not been convicted. But about a month ago I was crossing into Canada and said that I was staying for 2 months, they did a background check on me and denied me entry into Canada. I was told to get a Ministers Permit.(which I'm working on). I was wondering what would happen to me if I tried to go back into Canada after having been turned away once already without a Ministers Permit? What's the worst thing that could happen ? I have a fiance who I miss very much and would like to see her again. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank You !!!

In this case, it would appear that Canadian Immigration officials have made the decision to deny you entry to Canada, at this time, due to a past offense in the USA.

Thus, at present, you have been denied entry on what they term as "Criminal Grounds".

Unless certain requirements are met (such as obtaining the Minister's Permit, or Certificate of Rehabilitation) it would appear that their decision stands.

Attempting to re-enter Canada without meeting their requirements of a Minister's Permit or such Certificate, will likely result in more refusals of entry to Canada. Such refusals will be recorded, and could negatively affect future entries to Canada, or future applications for residency.
