Hello.
I am currently working in US on a work visa, and have Canada visitor visa.
I intend to visit Canada soon, and intend to apply for the Express Entry program later this year.
I have driven to Canada previously, however, this year I got a traffic incident on my record.
Because I was stopped & fingerprinted, it probably will show up as an arrest record.
The initial charge for arrest was Reckless Driving in the state of Oregon - a misdemeanor.
However, the prosecutor dropped it to Careless Driving, which is a class-B traffic infraction and not a crime.
For this, there is no mens-rea (intention) element and carries only a fine, which I paid with no-contest.
Will I be denied entry on this being considered as Dangerous Driving even without mens-rea?
