I reside in Canada and have been offered an IT position by a Canadian company that distributes marijuana. The company’s activities are legal under Canadian law. I have family in the U.S. If I accept this job, will it prevent me from being admitted to the U.S. as a visitor?

Answer

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has indicated that, if a foreign national is engaged in a marijuana business in Canada, where there is no commerce with the United States, that alone likely would not make the individual inadmissible to the U.S. (12.May.2022)
