<DIV class=RTE>Travel to Canada Entrance Advisory </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Members are advised to remind customers traveling to Canada of
a long standing law that may deny them entrance if they have ever been
convicted of a criminal offense. The list of inadmissible classes include
those that have been convicted of: 1) a minor offense (including
shoplifting, theft, assault, possession of an illegal substance, etc.); 2)
an _indictable_ criminal offense (including assault with a deadly weapon,
manslaughter; etc.), or 3) Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). Read full
details.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>According to Canada_s Web-site, it is possible to have some
offenses cleared in advance of travel by submitting an application for a
Minister_s Approval of Rehabilitation. ASTA has discussed this situation
with the Canadian Embassy and is advised that most applications for
rehabilitation are granted if: 1) they involve a single
offense, 2) the record is clean for the stated time (depending on the
offense) since the conviction and 3) the paperwork is all in order. The
process becomes more complicated and takes longer as the seriousness of
the crime increases and can take up to six months for serious felonies.
One DWI and a 10-year clean record can be approved at the border without a
fee or other process than providing the proper paperwork, but there is an
obvious risk in trying to gain entry that way.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>According to a report in the San Francisco Chronicle, the
Canadian government, to help enforce its law, is now sharing criminal
databases used by law enforcement in the United States as part of
post-9/11 initiative called Smart Borders. We are advised that Canada
expects anyone seeking entry to Canada to "confess" their convictions even
if not asked, on the theory that everyone is presumed to know the law.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Members are urged to advise customers of this law when booking
travel. Failure to inform customers about this law could lead to a claim
of breach of fiduciary duty against the agency. This information should be
disclosed at the point-of-sale and documented in the Passenger Name Record
(PNR) or printed on the itinerary. Here is a sample form of itinerary
remark:
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>_Travelers to Canada are advised that they may be denied
entrance if they have ever been convicted of a criminal offense, including
minor criminal offenses and Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)."
