Canada Border Crossing Services specializes in assisting Americans with a felony or misdemeanor obtain the necessary permits to enter safely into Canada. Even a DUI may render one inadmissible to cross the border. (we also assist those Canadian long haul drivers that are trying to enter the United States......)

Whether you are driving long haul, visiting Canada as a tourist or just passing through, there are stringent laws in place governing travel. By simply calling our office, we can often advise you of your eligibility to travel and to apply for the permits. To travel to Canada without prior authorization may result in refusal at the border causing you and your company significant problems.

Usually the permit takes approximately 4 months to obtain and may be valid for one year up to a lifetime permit. Depending on your case, we can usually determine this fairly quickly. A Temporary Resident Permit is one that carries an expiry date. If you are fortunate enough to obtain Rehabilitation, you would never need to renew this as it is a lifetime permit. One qualifies for a lifetime permit 5 yrs after the sentence has been served.

Once you obtain Rehabilitation, you may want to apply for the FAST card. This is not available to those that hold the Temporary Resident Permit as it is not permanent authorization. Canada Border Crossing Services offers free consultation. Call 1-800-438-7020, email at [email protected] or www.bordercrossing.ca

Is there any such similar procedure for the opposite situation? Canadians with criminal records wanting to cross to the USA?

This may be a worthwhile service but drivers with questions should have their dispatch check their eligibility first . I had a 20 year old misdemeanor conviction and noted it on my application . Dispatch knew the ministry to call in Canada and verified I could enter with no problem . No fees , paperwork or other hassles necessary .

Ms Perillo, I don't know when you came on board, but you are so welcome! I've heard a lot of good things about you, and was looking forward to attending your seminar at the Expo - and quite disappointed when circumstances prevented you from arriving. Next time, for sure! Meantime, thank you for taking time to provide accurate info for us - it's needed, and appreciated.:)
