Dangerous Driving Causing Death conviction in Canada 3 year ago - Do I require waiver

Hello , Three years ago, I plead guilty to Dangerous Driving Causing Death. My passenger passed away in the accident. No alcohol or drug was involved and no other charge. Another car crashed into us

I was sentenced to two years house arrest (with permission to work etc ) followed by two years of probation.

I completed house arrest period and 1 year probation. My probation officer has given me the permission to visit family for a week .

Will I require a waiver ? I do not see this as listed as CIMT ?

Thanks

I cannot see them allowing you to enter the United States with a 2 year sentence with no waiver. I have done waivers for clients like this in the past for "racing" offences where someone died. If you were convicted 3 years ago, they will want transcripts and they will 100% want all the details. This is NOT an easy waiver at all. They will say "you are still doing your sentence" because 2 years then 2 years probation is 4 years.

If you walked into my office, i would tell you to wait until 5 years MINIMUM had elapsed since the conviction date, or in my opinion, your chances are not great.

The only exception is if the court docs CLEARLY show you were not at fault. But then why PLEAD guilty in that case?
