Yes I told him that I would get back to him because I was dealing with stuff in court
cole4722 said:Hello, I understand matters in regards to this are handled on a case by case basis.
I just off the phone with a recruiter from my local recruiting station who has looked at my file, but was not able to offer any consultation in matters of foreign implications.
I am a dual-citizen and have been for the last 10 years, (Canadian and American), I was born in the U.S.. I have resided in Canada now for the last 6 months.
I have 3 felony warrants in the U.S. issued 7 months ago, 2 of which are bench warrants, and the other an arrest warrant. My criminal background consists of felony drug and theft charges.
I have absolutely no criminal record in Canada. I moved here to start a new life and have worked really hard to change my life around and have been succeeding in staying clean and working a full time job, and living a healthy lifestyle.
Does my past exclude me from my dream of the future? Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

matthew709 said:hi first time poster on this site. I could use some help regarding my situation. I will keep it as brief as possible but it could take a decent amout of writing to get what I think is the necessary info out.
when I was 15 (18 now) I got charged with x2 attempted armed robbery. I eventually pled guilty to x2 theft. I was given a conditional discharge. no restricted firearms, no check ins etc, just a flat discharge. my record will be dropped in may. the judge took into consideration my wanting to join the army and that's why she decided not to restrict my firearms. id like to add that the "attempted armed robbery" was a joke with a fake gun on someone who I thought wouldn't take it seriously. but that's besides the point now I guess..
i also have some things that could be on my record from when i was like 12-15. just stupid things like warnings and stuff. no actual charges. i haven't had any trouble with the law in over 3 years. im not some criminal i just did some dumb things when i was younger. im super motivated and determined to join and maybe transfer to regular force.
so will they let me in with this situation. thanks in advance for any replies. not exactly positive if this is the correct section of the forum to post this but it seemed the right place. if any extra info is needed for a solid answer just say so and i will post it.
