Entering Alberta Canada and returning to the US with Rifles and harvested Black Bear

Good call. I'll fix it in the post. 8.5x14 is the correct paper size. I don't think 11x14 exists. My coffee dosage might have been a little low at that point.

So it does have to be the 8.5x 14 and not reduced to 8.5x11

Idk. The border guy seemed to make it seem like it was ok. Print on 8.5x14 or wait until you get there to be sure.

I'm going to Alberta as well in May 2027 with brother and cousin. We're all using there gun. Traveling to CA with a weapon sounds like a headache to me and plus 1 less item to check and deal with when traveling international, especially with a country who has really strict laws.. Who are you going with?

It's been years since I've even had them look at the rifle.

No sir. One was turned away on his way to hunt, the other found out about it before on a work trip and it took quite a while to have it removed.

I agree on your opinion btw but Canada is a different beast.

Canada is very different!!! I was completely unaware of a DWI preventing an individual from crossing the border until this week. Can I ask if you are aware, how long ago did the one that was turned away from his hunting trip receive his DWI?

Reason I am asking is because I have reached out to (2) different individuals in Canada:

1-An associate attorney/consultations whom we spoke on the phone and said that if I were only planning 1 trip into Canada, and the DWI was 28 years ago and I have no other offences on record, I should not have a problem crossing the border because Canada would consider me re-habilitated since it would be 28 years ago and prior to Canada reforming the law in 2018. I am being emailed a link where I will pay a fee and dig further into it today.
2- Email to bordercrossing.ca replied to my email with virtually the same as above saying I am (Deemed Rehabilitated and able to enter Canada) since this is the only thing on my record and happened 28 years ago.

I will pay for below if the price is reasonable, if not, I may not be going to Canada.

1. Obtain a legal opinion letter: A lawyer can draft a letter explaining why you meet the legal requirements for Deemed Rehabilitation. This documentation can be presented to border officers to prevent a denied entry.

I got the legal opinion letter from clear access law.Probably the biggest thing this did was you have to get a FBI fingerprint check done and it provides the paperwork that shows you have nothing current.I know a guy that got turned back on going sheep hunting because of a wreck in Calif. that wasn't settled yet and didn't involve DWI.
