I'm a college student in America (US Citizen) and in April of this year I pled guilty to two misdemeanor counts stemming from an drinking incident, underage possession of alcohol and public intoxication. I've read that conviction of some types of crime, even if they were charges in America, automatically prohibits people from crossing the border. I plan on visiting Seattle in a few months over winter break and perhaps might visit Vancouver as well when I'm up there. Do Canadian authorites look up American criminal records for people walking over the border? Can they even access this information, since it's American records? And if they do look up records, would I be denied entry into Canada for these two relatively minor "crimes" (what I did isn't even considered a crime in Canada, as I am 19 and can legally drink in all provinces)?
