Waiver for Inadmissibility (US Entry Waiver)

Many Canadians are surprised to find that they are inadmissible at the US border—even for old criminal records such as DUIs. We understand the frustration and humiliation felt when turned away at the US border.

You may need a US Entry Waiver to enter the US if you are inadmissible due to a

criminal record, a previous immigration violation, misrepresentation, or a medical or health-related issue.

A waiver does not erase your inadmissibility, but it grants you legal entry to the US for a set period of time (usually 1 to 5 years).

Applying for a waiver requires detailed paperwork, proof of rehabilitation and strong supporting documents. Our firm can help by:

• Assessing your eligibility and determining the strength of your case.
• Preparing a thorough application with evidence of rehabilitation and good character.
• Guiding you through the process to minimize delays and maximize approval chances.

Our team approaches waiver applications with compassion and respect, building a strong case to show rehabilitation, good character and genuine reasons for travel. Let us help you regain your freedom to cross the border with confidence. Don’t let past mistakes or other circumstances keep you from opportunities in the US.

US Citizenship Renunciation

For many Canadians who hold US citizenship, the ongoing tax and reporting obligations can feel burdensome. Dual citizens are required to file annual tax returns, even if they live permanently in Canada. This can create unnecessary stress, compliance risks and significant costs – especially for high-net-worth individuals.

Renouncing US citizenship is a deeply personal decision with important legal, financial and tax implications. Our law firm provides trusted guidance to help you make an informed choice and navigate the process smoothly.

Renunciation involves:

• Tax Compliance Review: Working with tax professionals to ensure past filings are complete and accurate before renunciation.
• Exit Tax Considerations: Working with tax professionals with respect to exposure to “exit tax” upon renunciation. This applies to high-net-worth individuals, depending upon their assets and income.
• Renunciation Appointment: Appearing before a US consulate or embassy to formally renounce.
• Certificate of Loss of Nationality (CLN): Obtaining official proof that you are no longer a US citizen.

Our Role in Your Renunciation

We work alongside your accountants and financial advisors to ensure your renunciation is carefully planned and executed. Our services include:

• Reviewing your US tax compliance history.
• Work with you, your accountants and financial advisors to ensure that your renunciation is
  carefully planned and executed.
• Preparing the necessary forms and supporting documents.
• Coordinating with consulates and guiding you through the renunciation interview.
• Ensuring your estate and wealth planning goals are protected.
