Time to toot my own horn. Back before they closed the Toronto Airport until October 7th I met a nice couple who were there to hand in a waiver. Clients of Pardons Canada on st. Clair in Toronto. The guy was denied because he 'admitted' to having been arrested in the 70's.

They asked me to look at their papers. Pardons Canada had all the essential elements...except the record was blank and they CLAIMED that they could not obtain ANYTHING else from the Toronto Police.

I told the couple to give me more info and they guy had merely been thrown in the drunk tank for the night. No court, no penalty. I insisted that they not hand in the waiver as is, and they get more information, in person from Toronto Police. They lived out of town, but they followed my instructions and handed in a complete package WITH confirmation from the Toronto Police that the man had never been arrested by the Toronto Police. I also re-wrote his letter (pardons Canada makes the clients write their own).

Today......they got a September Letter. This wasn't magic, this was simply doing the work PROPERLY the first time.

Letter is dated November 27th, and signed by Keri Brady, Director, Admissibility Review Office.

When the work is done PROPERLY, the first time, good results are possible. If you do a half assed job, just to get a client "one time" you get a review like this written about you. Stupid.

If you applied at the Toronto Airport on April 22 2017 you should be aware that I know of two waiver files that were handed in, and cannot be found by ARO. This is not only unusual, but both were followed up on and Pearson can confirm both were received at Herndon Va. And now they cannot be located. The people are being told to reapply, and they are waiving the $585.00

If you filed a waiver on that date and do not have an answer, you should follow up immediately.

(I tried to post this as a new topic and whoever runs this forum has apparently denied me permission)

Pearson Airport this Saturday was a zoo, and the usual guy Officer Fleming was NOT there.

Unlike the summer, there were about 50 people there by 8am.

Like I told many of the people there and the majority of my clients, if during the week at Niagara Falls doesn't work, then Sunday night at Niagara Falls is the best option. 5pm to 9.

its at 430. But you can't talk to anyone really until 8 am.

If anyone is going this weekend, I am going at 5 am. I can put your name on the list for you. I just need your name and number so I can text you a confirmation. 416-843-1371.

You can then show up at 8 am. Remember pillar 8 to the right of the Peel Police Station.

If I go to Pearson what time do they put the paper out to sign your name , does anyone know ?

Is anyone going to Pearson Airport this Saturday? They are re-opening so i was curious if anyone was going to attempt to hand in their waiver there?

Niagara Falls now takes them on Sunday nights, 5-9 pm. Best time to do it hands down.

Yes, if you are a Canadian Citizen handing in your waiver at a CPB Port of Entry.

Just a note to everyone, on December 23 2016 the actual waiver fee went up to $930 USD. This was a requested review by Congress.

Canadian Citizens are temporarily EXEMPT from this increase. So as of date of this post, still $585.00 anywhere in Canada.

An I-212 was increased and no exemption, so if you are stuff filing an I-212, its $930.00

Is it still $585 USD at Pearson?

If you actually GO, instead of calling, you will see a posted notice that they are NOT taking Waiver applications. I was at the airport 2 weeks ago to check and the notice is still there.

Talk to Officer Fleming if you call, he runs the Waiver program there.

Rolledwaiver, you obviously never talked to anyone. October 7 2017.

Anyone go and show up on a Saturday to check? Prove me wrong. I took a picture of the notice and if anyone wants to see it I can text it.

You can call the pre-clearance directly at Toronto Pearson (905) 676-2606. The message still says they are processing waiver applications on Saturday (only) between 8am and 7pm. If you call between 11am-2pm daily you can speak with someone live to confirm.
