Is it an entire database of your travel history and criminal record and how do immigration officers use it to determine if you can enter or leave a country? What red flags can pop up from your passport photo/bio page? Cheers!

asking for a friend…

got busted in Canada for pot possession in mid ’70s, $100 fine, pardoned a year or so later. Been across to US dozens of times since, both for personal and business travel,

Never had an issue

Is there any mechanism i.e. freedom of information where he can pull up details of his file- thinking of applying for diversity visa and doesn’t want to gum up works so thinking of not declaring the bust
