U.S. Waiver for Canadians

You may not be granted entry into the U.S. if you are inadmissible to the United States. If you wish to travel to the U.S., but you are inadmissible, and you do not fall within any of the exceptions to inadmissibility, you will need to obtain a U.S. waiver. A U.S. waiver authorizes you to request entry into the U.S. despite your inadmissibility.

The most common grounds of inadmissibility are criminal grounds. Not all crimes render one inadmissible, but if you have a criminal record and wish to enter the U.S., it is important to determine whether or not you are inadmissible, fall within an exception to inadmissibility, or need to obtain a U.S. waiver.
