I have been told that Canadian immigration officials have access to U.S. records. I want to know if that is true and what type of crimes would bar a U.S. resident from entering Canada. When your passport is swiped, what information will appear on Canadian immigration screens? Will criminals such as felons, sex offenders, rapists be banned from entering the country?

Databases between the US and Canada are shared, particularly those for federal crimes (known as felonies).
Potentially, ANY criminal record can be grounds for denying entry to an individual. In particular: felonies (all types, regardless whether a pardon was received or not), DUI/DWI charges (note you don't even have to be convicted!), crimes against persons (like rape, physical or emotional abuse, assault, etc), and acts of terrorism (against Canada, the US, or any other nation) will automatically close the international border to someone.
Basically, if the Customs and Border Services Agency (CBSA) folks decide you're not suitable to enter, you get turned away. End of story.
Same holds true for individuals entering the US by the way, except that it's US Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) or Department of Homeland Security (DHS) folks doing the checking.

Yes, they have access to US criminal records and if you have any record even if it is for something as minor there is the possibility that you won't be allowed entry.
If you have a criminal record and still want to visit Canada, you have to apply for a waiver in advance. If this is approved, you will be allowed to visit despite your record..
