    Default Flying to Canada with Bench Warrant

    My question involves an arrest warrant from the State of: California. My boyfriend currently lives in South America he then later found out he had a Bench Warrant issued for failure to appear to court for a misdemeanor (he used to live there). I currently live in Canada and i would like to know if he can fly here, or will he be arrested at the airport. i have heard that if it is just a state warrant that it might not affect him if he doesnt go anywhere close to that state. Am i correct?

    You mean, if he flies directly from South America to Canada? Canadian authorities aren't going to hold him on a U.S. misdemeanor warrant, but if they're aware that he's been involved in criminal activities that could interfere with his gaining admission to Canada.
