Just wanted to give an update. Got back from Canada with no problems. They do not consider a diversion a conviction, so if anyone else has the same issue. It will not effect your travels. I would still recommend to take any court paperwork just incase but i had no issues and did ask just to make sure.

I did contact the CBSA and they could not give me a direct answer.

My diversion is basically a record suspension, no conviction of guilt was entered. I guess I will find out when I get to the cruise ship. Just didn't know if anyone has ever experienced this via cruise, plane, car, etc.

I am just concerned because they will see my arrest charges. Don't know what information pulls up. Hopefully the court documents will satisfy any issues if there is any.

Thanks for your response :)

I hear so many stories of people being turned around with a DUI conviction, but what about a diversion where the charges were dismissed and a conviction was not entered?

I am traveling to Canada one way leaving from CA, ending up in Vancouver and have all my paperwork from the court showing the case was dismissed. Will I encounter any issues since I was charged but did a diversion? Was curious to know if immigration/customs would even allow me to board the ship prior or is this something that would be an issue when I arrive in Vancouver?
