U.S. Entry Waiver in Montreal
A criminal record can get you turned away at the American border, even during a simple layover. A U.S. entry waiver, officially Form I-192, grants you permission to enter the United States despite your record. At our Longueuil office, on the South Shore just minutes from downtown Montreal, an advisor reviews your file with you in person, assesses your admissibility and builds your application from start to finish.
We assist clients from across Greater Montreal and the South Shore, including Longueuil, Saint-Hubert, Brossard, Boucherville and La Prairie, and we treat every file with the discretion it deserves.

The U.S. Entry Waiver at a Glance
American border officers have access to Canadian criminal records, so a past conviction can lead to a denial of entry at any crossing. The waiver lifts that inadmissibility: U.S. authorities review each application case by case, and once granted, the document is valid for one to five years before it must be renewed. Keep in mind that a Canadian pardon carries no official status at the American border, although it can strengthen your file. To clear your record in Canada, see our turnkey record suspension application.
Preparing a strong application takes work: official court documents must be gathered, translated into English where needed, and followed up with the U.S. government. Our advisors handle the entire process for $950 for a new application and $550 for a renewal; U.S. Customs and Border Protection charges an additional $1,100 USD to analyze your file. For full details on the process, visit our U.S. entry waiver service page.

FAQ
Do I need an appointment at your Longueuil office?
Yes. The first meeting is where your advisor evaluates your chances of success and lists the documents your application will require, so we set aside dedicated time for it. Call 450-910-1701 to book a consultation. If travelling to the office is difficult, we can also assist you remotely, wherever you live.
What should I bring to the first meeting?
Bring your identification along with any paperwork related to your record: court documents, proof that fines were paid, confirmation that probation has ended. An incomplete file is not a problem. Your advisor can obtain the official court documents on your behalf, usually faster than you could request them yourself.
Will my situation stay confidential?
Yes. Meetings take place in a private office, and your information is used only to prepare your application. We understand this is a sensitive subject, and our advisors handle it with care from your first call until your official document is in hand.
