Client’s Journey: From Border Denial to Full Travel Access.
The Situation
Our client, a skilled professional, needed to travel to Canada for important work meetings. With two old DUI convictions, he was turned away at the border. That’s when he called us.
Our Solution
To solve the immediate and long-term issues, we prepared and submitted two applications:
- Temporary Resident Permit (TRP): A TRP lets someone with past criminal convictions enter Canada temporarily for valid reasons like business or family needs. We quickly put together the paperwork and submitted it to the Canadian consulate.
- Criminal Rehabilitation: This application provides a permanent solution for people who have shown they are rehabilitated after past convictions. It takes longer to process, but it clears the way for future travel without needing special permission.
The Results
- TRP Approved: Shortly after submission, the TRP was approved. The client was able to attend his business meetings in Canada.
- Criminal Rehabilitation Approved: After 18 months, the client received full approval, he can now travel to Canada freely and without restrictions.
Client Review
“Christine was great in explaining the process, providing assistance, and being responsive along the way. 100% I would recommend to help with any visa or immigration issue.”
What This Case Shows
- Strategy Pays Off: Filing both applications gave our client fast results and lasting peace of mind.
- Personalized Support: We guide every client step by step, especially when criminal history makes travel complex.
- Real Change: Today, this professional can cross the border confidently, with no more uncertainty.
