If you’re a Canadian with a criminal record and want to travel to the United States, you may already know how difficult it can be to cross the border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has strict rules regarding admissibility, and even minor past offenses can result in denied entry. Fortunately, there’s a legal way around this: applying for a U.S. Entry Waiver.

At U.S. Waivers, we specialize in helping Canadians gain legal access to the U.S. through the official waiver process—fast, professionally, and with a 100% success rate.

What Is a U.S. Entry Waiver?

A U.S. Entry Waiver, also known as a Form I-192, is a document issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that grants entry to individuals who would otherwise be deemed inadmissible due to criminal history, immigration violations, or past deportations. The waiver allows legal entry into the U.S. for up to 5 years, and is typically used for tourism, business, or education purposes.

Do I Need a U.S. Entry Waiver?

You may need a U.S. Entry Waiver if you have:

  • A criminal record in Canada (including minor charges or even pardoned offenses)
  • Previously overstayed a U.S. visa or faced deportation
  • Been denied entry at a U.S. border checkpoint
  • Any legal history that may raise a red flag with CBP

Even a single past conviction or caution can be enough to make you inadmissible under U.S. law. A Canadian Pardon (Record Suspension) does not guarantee U.S. entry.

How Does the Application Process Work?

Applying for a waiver involves a detailed application through the Electronic Secured Adjudication Forms Environment (eSAFE). This system allows eligible applicants to submit supporting documents and personal information online.

Required documentation typically includes:

  • Your RCMP criminal record report
  • Court documents for all charges
  • Letters of reference and personal statements
  • Fingerprints and biometrics
  • Proof of purpose for travel (e.g., work, school, vacation)

At U.S. Waivers, we help you gather all required materials, ensure nothing is missed, and guide you through each step with clarity and confidence.
