    Can I Still Go to Canada if I Was Deported from the U.S. and Have a Criminal Record
    Hi, I am 27 years old, have lived in the U.S in New Jersey since I was 10 and was deported to my native country of Trinidad & Tobago earlier last year after serving 22 in prison for a felony drug conviction for possession & distribution.

    Now that I am back in my country, I have been living a different life, I've changed my ways & been going to college for mechanical engineering, which is going really well for me. I would like to be able to eventually be able to move to Canada because of its close proximity to the U.S so that my kids & family would be able to easily visit me there. plus I've also got relatives who reside there as well.

    I want to know if my convictions in the U.S would hinder me from being able to get a visa to Canada when Im ready. & If so, would receiving a Pardon/Expungement from the U.S help me get over that hurdle if there is one?

    You should address this question to a site familiar with Canadian laws. It is up to that country if they let you in - not up to the USA.
