Visitor: I have been fingerprinted twice. Both times in my hometown of Campbell River, BC. The first time was in 1986 when I was drinking and driving a motor vehicle. I applied for and was granted a pardon some years later, but that was opened up again in around 2004 when I had a relationship with…
www.pardons.org Visitor: I’m just wondering how much does it cost to get a waiver to enter to USA. Is it a pardon better than a waiver? Let me tell you a little bit of my story so you can tell me how much does it cost. I am originally from Mexico. I lived in USA…

Well as recently as this year, myself and family were crossing at the Niagara border and I was stopped and denied entry for a charge (theft) that happened 31 years ago. I have never been in trouble with the law since and am a home owner, have multiple credit cards and a line of credit…
I have a question about border-crossing to the United States. Pardons Canada helped me to successfully obtain my pardon in 2017. (Thank you!) At no point between the time that I was first arrested and charged in 2000, and the granting of my pardon in 2017 did I ever attempt to enter the United States.…
I made a major mistake today regarding a Nexus renewal and US Customs agent. The officer asked me for a deposition from charges I had 16-17 years ago so I went and obtained copies of the information and gave it to the officer. I had been charged with 4 offences, aggravated assault with weapon, assault…
www.pardons.org The Americans will deny you entry to the US if you have a pot conviction in Canada.

www.pardons.org No matter how old and how small your drug offence is, the Americans will deny you entry to the US. You may have had luck traveling in the past as the Americans only do random criminal checks, so they may not have done a check on you. However, criminal checks at the US border…
www.pardons.org A recent article in the global news just came out about how the Americans may know that you have purchased legal medical pot and could deny you entry on those grounds. Since we do not know for sure what the Americans can see, its best that when you are traveling to not say anything…
