What should I expect in an admissibility consultation? Admissibility Consultation – Entering Canada with a Record?
If you have a misdemeanor or felony on your record, chances are you are not admissible to Canada. You may, however, qualify for a special waiver while we work on securing a more permanent solution.
Sample convictions that may render you inadmissible:
- Bad Check / Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF)
- Breaking & Entering
- Drug Possession
- Drug Possession with Intent to Distribute (or Drug trafficking)
- DUI/DWI and Wet Reckless
- Reckless Driving (including Negligent Driving – First Degree in the state of WA)
- Theft including Petty Theft
- Sex Offences
Schedule a one-on-one personalized consultation with our US-based and Canadian-licensed immigration practitioner to assess your range of entry options, tailored to fit your personal circumstances and needs.
Our Consultation includes:
- Detailed discussion about the circumstance of your conviction
- Purpose in Canada
- Time-frame
- Filing strategy
- Options for those with multiple or serious offenses
- Q&A session
- Odds of success based on the above
- Recommended plan of action
- Written summary of the consultation
Entering Canada with a record requires thoughtful planning. For some, the risk of traveling with a record even on a professionally prepared waiver is too high – and our firm will advise not to move forward and there will be no need to sign a retainer agreement. For others with a compelling need, a waiver at the border is possible with good preparation.
