This page covers a direct flight to Canada.

Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.

Canada (CA) screens applicants and arriving travellers against criminal records (active database screening). If your history is clean, no action — proceed normally. If you've ever been convicted of anything, two things matter: (1) any visa or entry-permit application asks the question, and answering 'no' when the answer is 'yes' is itself grounds for refusal even if the original conviction wouldn't have been; (2) some categories trigger denial regardless — the canonical examples are DUI for Canada and drug-related convictions for Japan. Research waivers / rehabilitation routes well before booking if either applies to you.
Declare CAD 10,000 or equivalent when entering or leaving Canada (CA). Form: CBSA form E311. Declare CAD$10,000+ on entry
