US Waivers of Grounds of inadmissibility
If you are planning to travel to the United States, it is important
to note that f you have a Canadian criminal record (or Border
officials suspect you have a criminal record) you are prevented
by law from entering the United States of America.
The FBI can now legally gather information from RCMP databases
(CPIC) without request. This means that border guards are required
only to type a name into their computer system for any criminal
file the RCMP have recorded to show up. Even if you have been
granted a pardon by the Canadian government, the pardon is not
recognized in the United States.
The only way to get pass this inadmissibility is to apply for
An Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility. This
is an application for legal entry to the United States made by
an individual who is otherwise inadmissible on one or more grounds.
Our firm can assist you with this application.
