When temperatures drop and the days get shorter, we know that the holiday season is fast approaching. Amid the rush of shopping, presents, and glad tidings comes the inevitable desire to spend time with loved ones.

Unfortunately, some Canadians aren't able to see their family and friends during the holidays. Approximately 1 in 5 Canadians have a criminal record that prevents them from leaving the country.

Anyone who has ever been arrested has a criminal record. The stigma associated with getting convicted of a crime can be crippling; not only do people with a criminal record have more trouble finding jobs and apartments, many of them are also separated from friends and family members who live abroad.

However, there is a way for Canadians with a criminal records to enter the United States. The American government grant waivers to people with a criminal record who would like to enter the U.S.

Applying for a waiver can be a very complicated process. Some people may need both a pardon and a waiver, and others may only need one or the other.

Not only is it difficult to ascertain which documents are required for U.S. entry, but the application process is time-consuming, lengthy, and intricate. For a small fee, private companies are able to provide people with a criminal record with the help they need to enter the United States.

Toronto-based firm Canadian Pardons Services is a leader in the pardons field, processing approximately 5,000 pardons a year.

Everyone deserves to be with those they love during the holidays. Having a criminal record shouldn't detain you from leading a full and happy life.
