That’s a great question! If you have any form of a criminal record and are planning to travel, then you have to research where you might not be allowed to enter due to your offense. Luckily, in this case, you will most likely be able to go to Canada with a reckless driving charge.
You will most likely have to apply for a Temporary Resident Permit. If approved, you have cleared the first hurdle but these two factors may play a role in you being admitted to Canada:
  • How long since you have completed the sentence associated with your offense
  • The nature, circumstances and severity of your offense
Once this matter is settled, you should shop around for the right
