Barred entry into USA for training

[alexbarnia]

What if you are barred from entering USA for exercises? Will this hinder your career entirely in the CAF in your infantry unit? Say you got accepted to a unit in cansofcom but can’t do partner force training down south - what would happen to your career?

Any criminal offense that would bar you from entry to the US would very likely affect you joining or remaining in the CAF.

As the OP indicated over 10 years ago that he was then living in the United States

Random question if I may, I am a Canadian citizen living in California and am about to book my appointment for testing,medical, and the interview. If I book it say, in January 2015 will that be too long? What I mean is, is that too far of a date to book being 6 months away or does it not matter? Any scope on this would be much appreciated! Going for infantry, i've been training hard at the gym and studying for the CFAT.

and a couple of years later raised a question that suggested he may prefer not interacting with normal CBP procedures/personnel.

Just a simple question, when going to the U.S. for drills/exercises does one travel normally going through the civilian entry or do you take a plane from a base in Canada which you are stationed at to the base you are going to in the U.S.?

It is possible that he may have had previous negative interaction with US immigration officials and would be denied entry if he showed up at the border (or, more scarily, hauled off to an ICE detention facility).

CANSOF is not going to hire you with a ban into entering a FVEY country.

Let’s just cut to the chase.

Are you personally banned from the U.S.? If so, why and for how long?

Are you currently a CAF member or thinking about joining?

With those answers we may be able to give you useful and meaningful advice. If you choose not to offer that clarity, odds of you getting anything useful to you here will be much lower.
