Hornets' Miles Bridges denied entry into Canada

Bridges' Border Woes Shake Hornets' Lineup

Miles Bridges faces uncertainty for Monday night's game against the Raptors due to a snag at the Canadian border.


Canadian Entry Denial Raises Questions


Bridges' denial of access to Canada prompts speculation about the impact on his playing status.

Legal Background and Canadian Entry Restrictions

The specific reason for the border denial is unclear, but Bridges' past legal issues, including a no-contest plea to felony domestic violence, could be a factor.

Inadmissibility Criteria and Its Consequences

Certain convictions, such as felonies, drug possession, DUI/DWI, and more, can lead to inadmissibility into Canada, affecting individuals regardless of when the incidents occurred.

Precautions for Travelers with Convictions

Individuals with past convictions are advised to secure necessary paperwork beforehand, as entering Canada may require a waiver of exclusion, involving a time-consuming process and a fee.
