[quote=Anonymous]I have a lifetime prohibition on traveling to Canada due to a misdemeanor DUI conviction from 2003 in California. (No one with a DUI conviction is permitted to enter Canada)

What would happen to me if a plane I was on had to land in Canada for some reason (transatlantic flight needing to detour to Gander, Newfoundland because of an engine problem)? Because a coworker was telling me this afternoon that her flight from Paris in December had to land in Gander because of some problem with an unruly passenger and they had to stay in Gander for almost an entire day because the flight crew had reached some kind of time limit or something. So everyone left the plane and went through customs and then some left the terminal and even the airport for a while to get dinner, ect.

What would happen if I was in that circumstance? Would I have to stay on the plane? If they wasn’t an option, would they take me into custody/detain/arrest me?

I don’t really care about any possible criminal record from Canada but I also don’t want to be detained and miss my flight when it’s time to go because I’m sitting in some cell in Canadian customs.

What happens? [/quote]
