He is a US citizen. I am a Canadian citizen. Want him to visit a few times, tired of always driving to Seattle. He was stopped at the border before and told he couldn't come into Canada. But there has to be some Ferry, Seaplane, Camp road, or unmanned crossing we can use. He's not a mass murderer, and has served his time in the US.

The problem is that he is criminally inadmissible because of his past, however, he does have a way to overcome it.
He should goto the Canadian consulate in Seattle and apply for rehabilitation, to show that he leads a stable life and unlilely to be involved in any further criminal activity. It takes about a year, so he should apply ASAP. It will cost anywhere from $200 to $1000 to apply, depending on the seriousness. Here is more info on it:

However he is only eligible to apply if 5 years have passed since:
1. the criminal act was committed; or
2. the end of the sentence imposed for that criiminal act
whichever is LATER.
There is also deemed rehabilitation and you can find more information about it in the link I gave you earlier.

Well, you'd be breaking the law if you tried to do any of what you're talking about. I'd NOT want to be in your shoes if you were caught.
The Canadian police can be pretty uptight and aggressive at the boarder (esp. with non-Canadians in my opinion). I was refused entry once because I didn't have enough cash with me and because I didn't have a firm destination. I just wanted to take an out-of-town friend into Canada (he had never been) and we had a few hours to spare. We ended being separated and iterrogated. Even though our stories were legitimate we were denied entry. The next day we went back with a firm agenda (and through a different crossing) and we were let in - no problem.

Ummmmm, NO - have him apply for a pardon. If our officials have reason not to allow him into the country, we would prefer that he wasn't "snuck" into OUR country... additionally do you have ANY idea what would happen if you successfully went through with this and were caught? You would be joining him for some more jail time my friend. There are a few reasons that the canada customs agency will allow people into the country that shouldnt be here, but if you are just looking to go for a visit, it will not be permitted. Maybe you should find somewhere else to vacation instead...
Best of luck

No. There is no unmaned crossing. He could try running the border but the dogs would bite his but and then he would be charged with a second crime. Your friend can stay in the USA.

It's entirely possible that he can come legally. There are certain circumstances that may allow it. Check out these two sites. They may be able to help determine if he can come here legally and any paperwork he needs to do.
