So John, michelle and Ken know my story / history...
A year or so ago I went to go work on a waiver.... and had my prints come back as blank. No record in CPIC.
I've had differing advice now on next steps and I'm torn.
For reference
- Was planning on doing a waiver as I had a fraud charge (which has been finished, including probation, as well as a good pile of the restitution)
- went to prepare the waiver, and my prints came back as no record in CPIC
- I previously had nexus - after I plead to the charges, my nexus was cancelled
I have a copy of my prints / etc showing "no record on file"
I want to be able to travel to the US with no issues.
On one hand I was told to give it a try and take the prints with me in case I'm stopped. On another i was told to get a waiver.
I'm torn.
John / Michelle / Ken ---- help me come to a concensus. :)
John here, and this is my take. (Michelle recently was sick so if she take a while to reply that is why)
-The Nexus situation makes me think you need a waiver.
If no Nexus situation existed, then I would absolutely advise you to go ahead and travel.
Just an FYI....there is NO reason someone would be carrying an RCMP check unless you have something to hide. No normal traveler does an RCMP check, only people who have sealed something, or were looking for something would bother. Its a guaranteed trip to secondary and they will simply assume you were prepared to lie.
If your taking a day trip, or going shopping and no actual money is going to be lost, you could simply try and cross. Worse scenario? Your turned back.
If you never do a waiver, and ever book an actual trip, with people or even alone, your run the risk of being turned back and losing money, plus frustrating other people you were going to travel with.
I will admit I do not know enough about how the Nexus mechanism works to know 100% the consequences of what happened to you. Common sense and experience tells me Homeland Security knows. But I cannot be 100% sure.
