[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such  marginal worry that I wouldn't worry about it -- they might not let you enter Canada so you'd have to stay in the terminal. You are not under a Canadian order for arrest. And I doubt that there was no one with a DUI conviction on a plane on 9/11 and I'm pretty sure they put no one in the pokey. [/quote]

No, they can't release you back into the terminal on good faith that you wouldn't leave. You aren't arrested, but you are detained until the first available flight to your destination. However, if you were a US citizen flying from the US to Paris and your plane diverted to Canada for some odd reason, you'd get detained and most likely put on the first plane going back to the US not to Paris since flights to the US happen more frequently than to Paris.

If you’re officially involved with this: Canada and the United States should negotiate a treaty that lets people in this kind of situation choose whether to go back home or go to the destination, at least if they’re willing to pay for the stay in the detention room. It’s absurd that they could be get sent back to the United States simply because of a flight problem that was out of their control. [/quote]
