No, I don't believe the Minor-in-Possession would be a problem in Canada either.
However, what *IS* a problem is any offense that WOULD BE a felony if the crime was committed in Canada. Canada is much more strict on drunk driving convictions and even a first offense is a FELONY there. Therefore, anyone in the U.S. with even a FIRST drunken driving offense could have problems being admitted into Canada.

The problem I see is, the OP said he was 19 and mentioned that it was a misdemeanor. So who knows, IMO Customs people in Canada may not catch it the first few times, however if he keeps going to Canada it might be an issue at some point.
