Cole was convicted of posession as a 19 year old, was given community service and parole, and thought nothing more of it. Fast forward 20 years, and Coles’ baby sister decided to get married in California. Cole was driving down when he was routinely stopped at the US border. US Customs officers asked him the usual questions, and then asked if he had a criminal record.
Cole replied that he did technically have one, but it was over and done with years ago. Little did he know that posession is a Crime of Moral Turpitude in the United States! He was immediately told he could not cross the border and was told to immediately turn around and leave, as well receiving a warning not to enter the United States in the future! If Cole were to try to cross the US border again, he would receive a harsh warning, and may even risk the search of his personal property, arrest, and even a lifetime ban against entering the United States. How can he resolve this?
U.S. Entry Waivers
For Cole and thousands of other Canadians like him, the only way they can ever legally enter the United States again is to get a U.S. Entry Waiver. This document is granted by the US Department of Homeland Security, through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. It will allow individuals who have convictions for Crimes of Moral Turpitude to legally enter the United States for a specified time period. The applications for U.S. Entry Waivers are hopelessly complex, and involve contacting the RCMP, American banks, and other government agencies (both American and Canadian).
