Denied Entry to the United States? What Canadians With a Criminal Record Need to Know Before Applying for a Waiver

July 12, 2025 USEW 0 Comments

If you’re a Canadian citizen who was recently denied entry to the United States because of a past criminal offence, you’re not alone. Every day, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) turns away Canadians at land borders and airports due to records that are still visible – even decades later.

Many Canadians make the mistake of assuming their criminal record is no longer an issue. Some believe a Canadian pardon or record suspension clears their name internationally. Others are told they automatically need a waiver – even when they don’t.

The truth? U.S. admissibility is more complex than most people realize, and acting on bad advice can cost you time, money, and travel freedom.


❌ Why Canadians Are Denied Entry to the USA

CBP has access to databases that go far beyond a typical Canadian police check. Even if your RCMP record is clean due to a pardon, U.S. systems may still show:

  • Your original conviction or arrest
  • Details of withdrawn or stayed charges
  • Information from local police reports or past border stops
  • Records of overstays, misrepresentation, or illegal work in the U.S.
  • Past visa refusals or deportation orders

U.S. immigration law has strict rules for what it considers grounds of inadmissibility. These include crimes involving moral turpitude (CIMTs), drug violations, fraud, and more. The moment CBP believes you’re inadmissible, you can be turned away – and in many cases, flagged for life.


⚠️ When You Actually Need a U.S. Entry Waiver

Contrary to what many “pardon and waiver services” advertise, not every conviction requires a waiver. In fact, applying for one when you don’t need it can raise red flags or even result in a denial.

You may need a waiver if:

  • You were convicted of a serious or indictable offence in Canada or abroad
  • You admitted to drug use or criminal activity at the border
  • You have a history of unauthorized employment, visa fraud, or deportation
  • You were caught lying to CBP, even casually or accidentally
  • You’re listed in U.S. security or watch databases

However, you may not need one if:

  • Your charges were withdrawn, stayed, or discharged
  • The offence was not classified as inadmissible under U.S. immigration law
  • You’ve never been questioned, refused, or flagged by U.S. authorities
  • The charge is one that doesn’t fall under the categories of moral turpitude or controlled substance violations

That’s why it’s so important to get an assessment from someone who actually understands the U.S. border system – not just someone trying to sell you paperwork.
