GETTING HELP
Chancing it at the border is absolutely not
recommended, particularly for those driving
long distances. If you've "never had a problem
before," it will only be a matter of time before
something happens at the border.
Still, it's not a simple process to address.
Immigration rules are fraught with red tape.
Any incomplete documentation can easily result
in rejection or delay. Required FBI records
complaints, orders, sentences, restitution, and
probationary documents can be hard to track
down. So sometimes it helps to "turf it off " to
those with experience in these matters.
Every person's background is different, so it's
worth a call to discuss how you may be affected.
THE UPSHOT
In short, get your ducks in a row before you
hunt them. I never advise clients to cross a
border without appropriate paperwork. Even if
a minor offense may affect your travel to Canada,
please save time, expense, and heartache by
studying Canada's rules online, or contact a
qualified attorney.
