Yes, assuming the person will follow the required legal procedure. An individual needs a passport to enter Canada from the US. Because of National security issues all persons crossing into Canada, Mexico or leaving US borders are subject to extensive scrutiny. The outstanding warrant would appear as soon as border guards checked the individual's ID.
