An American Waiver is an official document issued by the American authorities, which lawfully allows a person with a criminal record in his home country (e.g. Canada, France, Italy…), to legally enter American territory for a specified period of time.
It is the American government's decision whether to consider the existence of the conviction as a ground for inadmissibility to the United States.
The consequences can be dramatic for those who take the risk to travel to the United States.

Unfortunately it is a reality which limits the free movement of persons with a criminal record in their country of origin in the United States.
Even if you have obtained the Pardon in Canada, the United States does not recognize the Canadian Pardon; which is why you must get a Waiver on the ban on US entry.
Your trip to the United States must be prepared as soon as possible, as this is now a process that takes time.
It takes about 4 to 8 months to prepare a request for the Waiver. Receiving the Waiver on the ban on US entry takes 6 to 10 months from the date of filing the application.
It is important that you apply well in advance of your intended date of travel to the United States.
