Got an email from the Nexus administration today and the CBSA is looking for stakeholder input regarding potential changes to the Presentation of Persons regulation.
Essentially tightening the eligibility criteria in areas that make sense: full disclosure and cooperation regarding personal information, run of the mill criminal convictions are a ten year ban. Life time bans for criminal convictions for drugs, obscenity and hate propaganda, endangered species, terrorism, kidnapping, child pornography, or trafficking in persons/human smuggling. Importation, exportation or trafficking of alcohol and tobacco, currency, firearms and weapons; or the exportation of items on the Export Control List. All foreign convictions will be assessed against the current Criminal Code of Canada.
