Entering Canada With Reckless Driving
You might have heard about the strict immigration requirements in Canada, but did you know that you could be denied access to the country altogether if you attempt entering Canada with reckless driving on your record?
Reckless driving is just one of the many criminal convictions that can cause you to be turned around at the border, no matter how squeaky clean you are at the present. Entering Canada with reckless driving on a record is a challenge, but it is not impossible. Global Crossing can help evaluate your specific case, providing you with the best resources and options for entering Canada with a reckless driving record.
Why the hassle for entering Canada with reckless driving convictions?
Both the U.S. and Canada have beefed up their security protocols in recent years because of global political concerns. This means that people with criminal records for nearly all misdemeanor and felony convictions are prevented from traversing the border — Canadians with criminal histories are similarly blocked from entering the States.
Still, sometimes it is necessary for business travelers to attempt entering Canada with reckless driving on record, or perhaps with a DUI or drug possession conviction.
There are solutions — we help you find them
There are several options available for entering Canada with a record of criminal convictions. First, temporary passes are available for those who do not expect to spend much time in Canada. These passes expire after several years, and their renewal is contingent upon the strength of the visitor’s application. More permanent options are also available, but they require a “criminal rehabilitation” process with strict stipulations.
The good news: A streamlined criminal rehabilitation evaluation is available for those who are considering entering Canada with reckless driving on their record. Navigating this process can be a challenge for the layperson, which is where Global Crossing comes in. We help you evaluate and shape your application for maximum success.
