So, I need an answer for my very specific situation.
Last October while working with a professional touring show, I was arrested for possession of less than a gram of a controlled substance and subsequently fired from the tour and charged with a felony in San Antonio, Texas.
Soon after, I was accepted into a program in Texas called the Pre-Trial Diversion program in which I simply have to complete a drug program, community service hours and a clean monthly drug test until December 2018 and the case is closed and expunged from my record.
I’ve been asked to return to the show but am unsure if I’m able to because it travels within the US and Canada. Although I am and was never CONVICTED of the crime, I’m afraid even if it’s pending that Canada will deny my entry. I’ve applied for work here in the US and taken various background checks where this pending felony does not show up.
Is this because of the program I’m enrolled in? Will Canada deny me entry?
