Can a Person with a Recent Criminal Offence Travel to the U.S.?
If you have a criminal record in Canada the American government may not allow you entry into their country.
We receive hundreds of calls every month from Canadians who have been refused entry at the US border because of old criminal records. Even criminal charges that have been dismissed, acquitted, withdrawn, absolute or conditional discharge can get in the way.
If you have been denied entry to the US, then you need a US Entry Waiver or I-194. This waiver will effectively change the American’s computer to allow you entry.
The application process for a US Entry Waiver is complicated and that is why we help people to get it DONE properly without the worry of the Americans rejecting the application because of mistakes or inappropriate responses to the questions asked.
If you have never been denied entry to the US but have a criminal record it is possible to first get a Canada Pardon and then you may not require a US Entry Waiver. It really depends on the file.
If you have any questions regarding this topic or about Pardons and US Entry Waivers email us at [email protected] or call 1-877-929-6011.
Pardons Canada undertakes all necessary steps and procedures for removing your criminal record, including: Pardons/Record Suspensions, Purges, Photograph & Fingerprint Destruction, and U.S. Entry Waivers.
