Frequently Asked Questions

If I have been granted a Canadian Pardon do I still need a Waiver?

Citizenship and Immigration Canada
That depends on whether or not U.S. Customs officials have ever accessed your criminal record using CPIC or APIS, or via an interview. If your record has not been accessed and you have not been interviewed, we can obtain a Canada Pardon for you that will remove the information from CPIC and APIS. If your criminal record has been accessed via CPIC or APIS or via an interview, the information has most likely been transferred into an FBI data base.
