Waivers & Pardons: frequently asked questions

How much does a US entry waiver cost?

How much does a Canadian pardon cost?

Our fee is $800. Fees for fingerprinting, local police records check and Parole Board filing will cost between $100 - $200.

When am I eligible to apply for a pardon?

Eligibility depends on when your last crime was committed and the date the sentence was fully completed. The type of charges will also play a role in determining eligibility.

Do I need a US waiver if I have my Canadian pardon?

USCBP does not recognize a pardon. Depending on your criminal charges, you might be required to obtain a US entry waiver.

What crimes can prevent me from traveling to the US?

Common charges that can bar you from the United States include:

  • Drug violations
  • Fraud
  • False pretences
  • Theft
  • Possession of property obtained by crime.

How will a pardon benefit me?

A pardon will remove your criminal record - keeping it separate and apart from other records in the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) database. This will help you find work, volunteer, study and travel.

Your pardon will also speed-up the approval of your US entry waiver application.
