I'm helping a friend who plans on a holiday to Canada for 17 days - flying out next month. She has a job, a home and return ticket.
My friend has a conviction for common assault (a very minor offence for which she received a one-year conditional discharge) almost five years ago.
She is worried that she will be asked about it. From what I've been able to find so far, I have suggested that no-one will ask, and even if they do, it's not likely to cause any sort of problem. She has found information about 'criminal inadmissibility', but as far as I can tell this only relates to those who are applying for longer stays that require a visa or other entry clearance.
Can anyone help put my friends mind at rest?
Thank you very much for all replies.
