Flying to Canada with Drug Record

[universeofstars]

In 2005, I was arrested for conspiracy to sell ecstasy. The case has been dismissed since 2006. My record from the FBI just shows a federal arrest, no conviction or anything. Since the dismissal, I have traveled by car to Canada 5 times without any problems.

Now I live in a different part of the USA and want to travel to Canada by plane to visit friends. I have a passport. Will the customs procedures be any different from going over in my car? For example, are they more likely to be able to see the arrest and make me inadmissible?

I am worried just because flying there isn't as easy as driving there. I have to book flights, hotels, etc and if i'm not allowed in to Canada, it is a waste of money and time.

Please help!

Here are some things I found

I found this from Frequently asked questions: Overcoming criminal inadmissibility


I was charged with a crime in the United States and found “not guilty.” Am I criminally inadmissible?

No. When a court decides you are not guilty of committing a crime, you will not be considered criminally inadmissible.


But isn't a dismissal treated differently than non guilty?


But then I found this excerpt from the Rehabilitation For Persons Who Are Inadmissible to Canada Because of Past Criminal Activity

From:

Rehabilitation For Persons Who Are Inadmissible to Canada Because of Past Criminal Activity


Would it be wise to bring the court papers along as well or does that look sketchy?


I just need some advice on whether to book the travel or not. I have driven many times to Canada since the dismissal without a problem but flying just seems different

Thanks in advance
