The statute of limitations is 5 years. This is likely a scam, do not talk to them or anyone. retain a lawyer if you get arrested. Stay away from Craigslist and chat rooms.

Who in Canada called you. Did they identify themselves in some way, such as a detective, police agency, RCMP, etc. If not, it may be some type of a scam. I would not call them back, and if they contact you, I suggest that you try to get as much information as possible from them without divulging any information about yourself.

Ever heard of the right to remain silent? Don't fall for their trap.

I do not know Canadian law. But, I would not talk with the police on a case like this. I would just say, I want a lawyer and nothing else. If you admit, then they do not have to prove the case, if you lie, then it looks like you are covering up a crime. It is unlikely that they will issue an international warrant. As long as you do not return to Canada, you probably will never have to deal with this. You should contact a Canadian lawyer to learn more about your rights.

Retain an attorney and discuss the case with that attorney before doing anything.
