There are many reasons for this but one of the main reasons is that people tend to travel over the holidays. And whenever people are travelling (to American at least) the the\u00c2\u00a0ones with the criminal records are going to find themselves in trouble.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Unfortunately what tends to happen is that people try crossing the border for the holiday season. They are quickly rejected by a border guard doing his job and, come January, when people realize that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalpardon.org\/\">Canadian Pardon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalpardon.org\/\">US entry waiver<\/a> is important, they call us.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I always tell people to stay away from the border until things are taken care of but the fact is a lot of people just aren&#8217;t aware that an old criminal record is a problem. The other thing is that a lot of people are able to travel to the States without getting caught, creating\u00c2\u00a0a false sense of security. And finally, a lot of people (all of us as matter of fact) have a tendency to wait until things like this catch up with us before we decide to finally take care of it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">If you have a criminal record you need to have it taken care of regardless of what may or may not have happened at the border. Even if the criminal record is not affecting your life, there is a good chance that it will in the future. But don&#8217;t wait until your holidays are ruined to finally make the decision to clear things up. Give us a call at the National Pardon Centre. We can help make sure your past is not going to come back to haunt you.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u00c2\u00a0If you have any questions relating to Criminal Records, Canadian Pardons or US Entry Waivers please feel free to email me directly at <a href=\"mailto:mashby@nationalpardon.org\">mashby@nationalpardon.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Happy New Year to Everyone.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Michael<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January is always a busy time of year for us here at the National Pardon Centre.
