1 ANSWER
Yes. If your son is convicted, his immigration status could be jeopardized. It is important to not plead guilty or accept any plea deal until you speak to an immigration attorney. As to travel to Canada, you will need to speak to an immigration attorney licensed to practice law in Canada. Canada has its own grounds for denying admission.
