Travelling to Canada after Denied Entry from USA
Upvote:10
You exclusion from entering the USA will NOT, in and of itself, make you inadmissible to Canada. Every country has different criteria and standards for entry, so it is not uncommon for a person to be refused entry to one country whilst being still welcomed into another.
The US has a number of "acts" and "offences" that are deemed to make a person ineligible to obtain a visa to the US (including travel under the Visa Waiver Program), including 212(a)(2)(D)(i) which renders ineligible anyone that "is coming to the United States to engage in prostitution, or has engaged in prostitution within 10 years of the date of application for a visa, admission, or adjustment of status.". The legislation specifically includes prostitution that occurred in a country where it was not illegal.
The fact that you were denied under this provision does not mean that you have committed an offence, nor that you have done anything wrong - it simply means that you are not eligible to enter the USA (at least, not without applying for a specific exemption).
Canada has different criteria for entry, and thus your current profession is not in itself reason for denial of entry.
That said, there are still (at least) 2 potential issues that you may face when attempting to enter Canada. The first is that having being refused entry to the US can be a flag to Canadian immigration officials, and they may decide to pay more attention to you than they would have otherwise - including potentially refusing your eTA application and making you apply for a visa. Given that eTA's last for 2 years and are relatively cheap, it would be worth applying for an eTA before you book travel, in order to give additional time in case you are required to obtain a visa.
The second issue you may face is that the immigration officials may presume that you are coming to Canada to work. This is something that the immigration staff will be concerned with for most travelers, but it is likely they will pay more attention to someone in the sex industry - especially given your previous denial of entry to the US. You've stated you are only travelling to Canada as a tourist, but the burden of proof lies with you to convince them of that, so be prepared to do so.
Your statement that you will be truthful on the eTA is critical. Canada and the USA do share immigration information, and the thing that would jeopardize your entry to Canada more than anything would be to lie on the application.
