Travelling to Mexico with a Canadian Criminal record
There aren’t any questions about a criminal record in the Mexican visa application, nor in the FMM (arrival card). But the petrol police can perform background checks at any point of time. If they do, and find any criminal record, you may be denied entrance to the country.
Travelling to United States with a Canadian criminal record
Travelling to the United States with a Canadian Criminal Record was easy around 25 years ago. However with a criminal record nowadays it is very risky. If the border Police Officer decides to do a background check and your criminal record is detected then you may get arrested at any point of time for hiding the data or denied entry at the US border.
