Greetings,

I am a US/Canadian dual citizen currently living in Windsor, Ontario.
One year ago I was convicted of Production and Possession of Marijuana.
My sentance was a $1000 fine which I paid, 3 years probation and a 10 year firearms ban.

Now my question is, I may want to move back to the US soon, and I want to know if my probation would affect me there as well as the firearms ban, and would my record bar me from entering the military?

In short, does a record in a foreign country affect my US life at all?

Also, would this cause any difficulties crossing the border even with my dual citizenship?

And could I apply for a pardon in Canada from the US or would I have to move back for a period?

All input would be greatly appreciated as this area is very confusing for me :confused:

Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me!
 
I got a very limited understanding of things but as long as the legal systems are compatible (and I think they are) US and Canadian convictions count.
I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

Good luck!
