Toronto, ON -- (SBWire) -- 09/09/2014 --A US immigration law firm in Toronto specializing in US Entry Waiver for Canadian residents with criminal or overstay record has recently shared via its online platform USEntryWaiverLaw.ca that it is a common misconception that pardons issued by the Canadian government are sufficient to enter or re-enter USA.

The law firm is led by a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association and a certified foreign legal consultant by the Law Society of Upper Canada, has successfully represented many Canadian clients with a criminal past many of whom who had a Canadian pardon and an official ‘no criminal record’ in Canada but still were required to obtain a US Entry Waiver to visit the United States.

The comprehensive publication on the website’s homepage explaining all US Entry Waiver legal details shares that the reason why Canadian pardons are not accepted by the US Customs and Border Protection is because since 2010 they have had full access to the Canadian criminal databases which has given them criminal records of every Canadian dating back to 1960s.

It may seem that a record suspension from the Canadian government will also be updated with the US border however that is not the case as they use their own country’s database which is the United States National Crime Information Center (NCIC).

Hence, the law firm advises all Canadian residents with a criminal record, pardoned or unpardoned, to check with US immigration first before attempting to visit the country, as it could result in a serious legal matter provided that somehow the person enters USA, which is very unlikely as the US border since 9/11 has been very strict.

The firm informed that they also provide assistance to residents in other provinces via their client support dedicated phone line.
