Within the few past months, many flight attendants have been refused entry into Canada. The company is suspending them for 60 days and asking them to complete the inadmissibility documents required to enter Canada. If this is not completed the company will terminate your employment. Crew members with past criminal charges or convictions are refused entry into Canada. Almost all convictions (including DUI, DWI, reckless driving, negligent driving, misdemeanor drug possession, all felonies, domestic violence (assault IV), shoplifting, theft, etc) make a person inadmissible to Canada, regardless of how long ago they occurred. For this reason, it is not recommended that persons with past convictions attempt to enter Canada without first obtaining necessary documents. It is always the final decision of officers at ports of entry to decide whether a person is allowed into Canada. There are several ways individuals can overcome criminal inadmissibility: You may apply for rehabilitation if at least five years have passed since the completion of the sentence imposed for your crime. For example, if you were convicted of driving under the influence, it must be at least five years since your full driving privileges were restored. You may apply for rehabilitation at any Canadian Consulate. You must apply well in advance of your planned trip to Canada, as routine applications can take six months or more to process. Complex, non-routine applications can take two years or more to process. In evaluating the application, they will look for evidence that you have taken steps to change your behavior and will no longer pose a potential danger to Canadians. Please call a union representative for any information regarding inadmissibility into Canada. |
