Can you get into Canada with a reckless driving charge?
Will I be able to get into Canada if I have a reckless driving charge on my record? My friends and I are planning a road trip up north, but I’m not sure if I’ll be allowed into the country.

Yes, you can still get into Canada with a
reckless driving charge
on your record. However, you’ll need to obtain one of two things in order to enter the country:- A Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) will allow you to enter the country and stay there for up to 36 months. In order to get this permit, you’ll have to provide a compelling reason that you should be allowed to enter the country, like a business conference or an important family event (i.e., a funeral).
- Criminal Rehabilitation, which requires you to petition the Canadian government to dismiss your record and allow your admission in the country. For a successful application, you’ll need to demonstrate positive changes that you have made in your life as a result of your offense. You must also show that there is no chance that you will repeat it.
With one of these items, you’ll be able to enter Canada without much difficulty.
