The Problem
A U.S. Record Can
Complicate Canada Travel
You may have completed your sentence years ago - but Canadian border officers can still treat certain U.S. convictions as potential inadmissibility when you try to enter.

When It Shows Up
Visiting Family in Canada?
A record can surface at the border when you travel to see relatives - even if the trip is years in the planning.
Travelling for Work?
Business meetings, site visits, and cross-border contracts can stall if admissibility has not been addressed.
Hunting, Fishing & Outdoor Trips?
Many U.S. sportsmen discover admissibility issues only when arranging travel to Canadian lodges or remote regions.
Cruise or Vacation Travel?
Itineraries that touch Canada - including some cruises - can trigger the same inadmissibility review as a flight.
Planning a Move or Longer Stay?
Longer visits and relocation plans often require a clear admissibility strategy before you commit time and money.

How We Help
Pathways That May Apply to Your Situation
Every record is different. Our free consultation identifies which Canadian admissibility options are worth exploring for your U.S. history and travel goals.
Criminal Rehabilitation
A formal application that may overcome inadmissibility when you meet eligibility requirements after your sentence is complete.
Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)
A temporary pathway when you have a compelling, time-limited reason to enter Canada before a permanent remedy is available.
Deemed Rehabilitation Review
In some cases, enough time may have passed that you already qualify without a formal application - we verify whether that applies to your record.
Admissibility Assessment
Not sure where to start? We map your U.S. record, travel goals, and timeline to the pathways worth exploring first.
We explain the difference between temporary and permanent remedies - and what documentation IRCC or CBSA may expect.

Questions
Common Questions from U.S. Travelers
What happens on the free consultation?
You share your U.S. record, travel plans, and timeline. We explain how Canadian inadmissibility rules may apply and whether Criminal Rehabilitation, deemed rehabilitation, or a TRP may be worth exploring. No pressure. No cost.
Does a U.S. criminal record automatically block entry to Canada?
Not always. Canada may assess your offence against its Canadian legal equivalent. Some records create inadmissibility; others may not, depending on the facts. A case review is the starting point - not a guarantee of entry.
What is Criminal Rehabilitation for Canada?
It is an application that can overcome criminal inadmissibility for entry or status in Canada when you meet eligibility requirements. It is separate from U.S. record clearing and does not guarantee border approval.
Does when my U.S. offence happened matter for Canada?
Yes. Canada assesses U.S. convictions against Canadian legal equivalents, and those rules have changed over time. Offence date, sentence completion, and circumstances can all affect what pathways are worth exploring. We review your record before recommending next steps.
Is approval or entry guaranteed?
No. Only Canadian border and immigration authorities decide admissibility. We provide application support and honest guidance - we do not guarantee entry, approval, or eligibility.
Is my information private?
Yes. Your consultation is confidential. We are an independent service - not part of the Government of Canada.
