Time frames for processing pardon / e-Safe waiver applications

How long does it take to process an e-Safe US Waiver?

An eSafe waiver application can be prepared and filed within 1 - 2 months. After your waiver has been filed, you will need to complete biometric processing at a designated e-Safe port of entry which includes having your photograph taken, being fingerprinted and possibly providing a DNA sample.

The time it takes Customs and Border Protection to process an application can vary. A variety of reasons can impact the processing time. For up-to-date information about current processing times, please call us.

How long does it take to receive a Canadian pardon?

In cases where the criminal record only contains summary convictions, the Parole Board has up to 6 months to make their decision from the date the application is accepted for processing. If the record has any indictable offences they have up to 12 months to decide. They can take up to 2 years if they propose to deny the application.

If the Parole Board proposes to deny your application you will be given 60 days to submit a representation addressing their proposal. As part of our service we will prepare your appeal.
