Entering Canada With A Criminal Record

Anyone with a criminal record (including a drunk driving conviction) may be excluded from Canada. A waiver of exclusion may be issued but several weeks are required and a processing fee must be paid. There are attorneys who can assist with the application of a waiver or immigrating to Canada. The expungement law firm, RecordGone.com (877-573-7273) can help clear your criminal record.

Shared Border Accord - NEXUS

NEXUS is a joint program of Canada and United States initiated under the Shared Border Accord at major land crossings in 2001 and expanded to air travel in a pilot program for passengers flying in and out of Vancouver in 2004. The program was integrated last December to include air, land and marine travelers on one card. More than 120,000 NEXUS members from Canada and the U.S. enjoy the privileges of membership. The initiative, under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, improves services to the traveling public while maintaining safety and security.

Earlier this year, NEXUS began at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport and Montreal’s Pierre Trudeau International Airport; the airports in Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Halifax are to follow by the end of the year. There are currently 11 land borders with dedicated NEXUS lanes. For boaters, there are 450 designated marine reporting sites that allow NEXUS members to call up to four hours in advance of crossing the border by water.

 

The NEXUS card serves as an alternative to a passport for entry into the United States by air under the U.S. Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), and it is anticipated that the card will be acceptable when the WHTI is extended to land and sea travel.
