U.S. Waiver Fees

You must have a valid U.S. Waiver before you can travel to the U.S. with most criminal records.

Issued by the Department of Homeland Security, a U.S Entry Waiver is a legal document that gives you advanced permission to enter the United States. You can do so an unlimited number of times while the waiver is valid, which is usually one to five years.

While it is not recognized by U.S. Customs as permission to enter the country, you should also complete a Canadian Pardon application to seal your criminal record forever.
