RESTRICTED TRAVEL

In the Pacific Northwest traveling out of the country, particularly to Canada, is quite common. With a DUI conviction on your record, this may not be as easy, or even possible, anymore.

Candian immigration law is quite complicated, and their border officials have been given broad authority to choose who gets in, and who doesn't.

As a result DUI convictions have been declared suffcient grounds for denied access to Canada. Even lesser crimes, such as reckless driving or any drinking and driving related offense, can be a reason to deny entry.

If traveling up north is important to you or necessary for your job, it is imperative that you hire a qualified Seattle DUI attorney to avoid having a DUI conviction on your record.

Note that even if you already have a DUI conviction on your record, we can help.

Although getting a DUI expunged from your record is not possible in Washington State, it is still possible to get a temporary residential permit, or even a certficate of criminal rehabilitation. These forms should be able to persuade a border official to allow you entry into Canada.
