"Essesntial" Truck Driver just got his 5 year waiver. January 29 2021

I also have 1 other client who handed his waiver in (not e-Safe) and he is still waiting for a result. (Also Peace Bridge) He also handed it in the beginning of January. I will update everyone once I get news.

We have a truck driver that his waiver was filed using esafe about Jan 24 or so. I will see what they do in his case. I am still on the fence since esafe is not a 100% guarantee of a quick approval. Esafe is just another method of submitting a waiver case to CBP. The timeline for processing does indeed depend on the complexity of each case.

Our case is unique because he has a complex waiver case and received 2 prior denials from other waiver providers. Another gentleman used a different waiver provider and filed his waiver using esafe Oct 2019. This case is still pending but he does have a complex waiver case.

I also had a former Surrey trafficker file his waiver case at the same time using the paper method. He got his approval within 60 days. It seems that more data is needed regarding the esafe processing timeframe. This is why I am thinking that esafe is of little benefit to us since we deal with the complex/serious conviction cases. However, it does seem to appear that perhaps esafe is faster if it is a less complex case.

@Snake4660, please confirm the 11 days is from the time you started e-safe to when you received approval. I think it is important to keep in mind that the gathering of paperwork, such as RCMP results and Court documents still takes awhile. It is my understanding that E-safe is quick on the US side, not the Canadian side of things. Saskatchewan is till taking 3 weeks to receive court documents, and currently most Alberta court houses are 8 - 10 months. I have court document request with Wetaskiwin, and they are advising it could be 1 year. I also understand that in Ontario for some reason u do not need to submit court documents. That is not the case in Saskatchewan or Alberta. Not sure why there is a difference??? Thanks!

Edit: The Wetaskinwin request has been at the court house since July 2020, as of last week, no update and not working on it yet.

@ Michelle I can confirm that the Surrey and Alberts courts can take 3 months or longer to just to pull a court file.

@Michelle for my client and I bet @snake4660 as well, we are only talking about the speed AFTER all the documents have been gathered. Court documents in Ontario are very slow, again, depending on the conviction I am skipping them in some cases. If court documents are needed, this could add 1-6 months to the total process.in Ontario.

@Ken, the evidence is clear. If your discouraging your clients from doing e-SAFE, its delaying them. Your excuse of "we only deal in complex case/our cases are complex" is ridiculous. Whether you hand it in in person, or electronically, the SAME documents are submitted. They go to the SAME PLACE, and get adjudicated EXACTLY THE SAME. Even YOUR work is the same, you just have to log in and upload the documents for the client.

Your stuck in your little box, and its going to cost you. Your clients are going to get their waivers SLOWER than someone doing the EXACT same waiver through eSAFE. Make sure your clients are aware that your inability to change is going to cost them "time".

Look at the top of the page. The evidence is CLEAR. Even with being asked for additional information, 20 days from submission to answer.

@John, thanks for helping to clarify, I mentioned this as I received a call - not sure if someone from here, but they were persistent that they heard timeline to receive a waiver through e-safe was less then a month from start to finish, including gathering paperwork. They did not want to listen that gathering paperwork takes awhile.

Yes, please everyone, I was trying to show that someone GOT a waiver and how etc, not brag about how quickly I could get them.

My waiver clients tend to be in Ontario, and a lot of clients don't need court documents. This makes for a quicker waiver.

Out west, completely different scenario. Don't pick your waiver provider based on who you think is faster. I guarantee you that Michelle is much better at getting waivers accepted in her region of Canada, and would probably be able to give you more accurate timelines if you are in Saskatchewan or Alberta.

Also my objective is to give realistic waiver examples that have happened, and that I can show. Anyone can claim "I have sent 5 clients to the border last week" but there is no proof. As you can see by my posting, it is accurate and a cut and paste, not anecdotal. People need REAL data, not stories.

I am also a truck driver and it took 11 days from start to finish to aquire my 5 year waiver renewal.
I had to go to Port Huron to complete application as Peace Bridge said they were not doing them.

He would also be eSafe since the timeline is so short. Maybe Snake4660 could post more details? Who did you talk to etc?

@John you are not certified to make a determination regarding directing people to any waiver provider. Btw nor am for that fact. Your tricks do not work and people clearly see that you are attempting to grasp at straws. Again, why don't you talk about the short girl that went to your office for a pardon and walked out pissed off after you had few answers to her questions? Apparently, the only thing that you did was to try to push for a quick sale. Again, dropping night market prices to try and close a deal smh.

Anyway, it is not true about Ontario clients not needing court files in their waiver applications. I understand that you are aware of this fact but waiver applications go to the Admissibility Review Office for processing. They decide what they want in a waiver packet. This is irregardless as to whether the client lives in Calgary, Montreal, or the moon. The ARO can write back at any time and request such documents on almost anything. Now having said that...It is up to each adjudicating officer as to whether they will request a court file or whatever documentation as they see fit. I know this info for a fact based on my contacts in the American govt, and for previously working for the said govt.

Also, I would not refer to anything as a little box since that is actually more clearly a distinction reserved obviously for you. Or more so your boss...Anyway, again, ESAFE is only another form of submitting a waiver application to the government. Common sense says that a case involving a person that has a child molestation offence will obviously take longer to process by the ARO as opposed to a guy that stole your 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 that you drive.

So I stand firm with what I said regarding ESAFE. If they make it mandatory, then for sure we will use it. However, it does absolutely nothing for the complex cases since they still take much longer for the ARO to adjudicate. There is no 100% guarantee that they will be processed faster. I want you to tell the gentleman that filed using ESAFE in Oct 2019 that it is a much faster process. It is clearly news to him since he is still waiting on a decision as of today. You would not know complex case processing times since your unquestionable ignorance in this area is clearly a definitive fact.

So yes ESAFE can definitely be good for the less complex cases since the officer has to spend less time on adjudicating them. It does not work as well for the more complex cases since they take longer to adjudicate. You really should keep your emotions out of these cases or take some Midol. You can keep your opinion and I will do the same.

@Ken

We would accept your opinion if you stuck to actual facts and were transparent and honest.

As I have proven time and time again, your deceptive in pricing, in your location, and every post is less about information and more about a humblebrag about fictional clients that just "happen" to fit the exact scenario being discussed.

We are trying to help a guy, and now you pushed the post down for some ridiculous discussion about whether e-SAFE is faster. IT IS FASTER. Even if the case is difficult, and even if the decision takes months, it is STILL faster. Its not even mailed (so the danger of lost in the mail is eliminated) it is EMAILED.

No short woman came to my office and left, and I thought you claimed I wasn't here? Also I lease a 2020 Rav4. Heated seats. Let me know if you want to see a picture. Tell your little "shawty" to give me a call. I'll help her out.

You see Ken, when you have an ACTUAL business, with a location, credit history, and your accredited by the RCMP, you get REAL stuff. Not "Ken Scott fictional" stuff, but REAL stuff. I feel bad mentioning how this must suck for you. Trapped in that little apartment in the UK. Our hopes and Prayers buddy...hopes and prayers.

Reposting this to cut through Kens nonsense. This person wants real help. Start a new thread if your going to waste everyone's time.

@Terry_w I hope the info from snake4660 helps.

@Snake4660 thank you very much for the details!

And this rant below folks, is why Ken no longer has clients, and is doing "credit repair". Sad.

Well John I understand if the questions are something that you are not interested in answering and want to avoid the facts. They just point to your character, state of mind and are based on your own very statements that you have posted here in various rooms. I do not make anything up since you voluntarily make these statements for all to see here. I just do not understand why you post things and do not like it when people simply ask for clarification on things that you allege are factual. Nor do I understand why you feel the need to inform me about Jennifer’s “2020 RAV4”.

You were almost right about not having clients but you got it twisted since it is clear that you are the one that is lacking the business. Remember...I have constantly said that we have higher rates and I do not expect to get much business here. You are also the one that has constantly thrown night market prices at people on here to make a sale. You are also the one emphasizing Ontario on here. I never emphasize locations and only stick the facts regarding the emphasis on immigration manuals, codes, statutes, regulations, and pamphlets.

Hence, it is not my goal to obtain business here. I have 2 reasons for being on here and they are exceeding expectations. One is for networking purposes and the other is to try and help prevent people from getting scammed by these waiver companies. The first one has thus far definitely exceeded expectations.

Also, it's too bad that you do not know the difference between a rant and a fact. Let me help you out here:

A rant is to “speak or shout at length in an angry, impassioned way.”

A fact is “ a thing that is known or proved to be true.

- the truth about events as opposed to interpretation.

there was a question of fact as to whether they had received the letter

Hence the 5 questions are unquestionably determined to be indisputable facts as per your prior statements.

Btw please answer the 5 questions that I have posed to you in the post since people here are interested. You are the one that claims "accreditation." You also have a bad habit of denying the truth by not answering questions on things that you have stated and know would put you in a bad light. Smh

Hence, stop trolling and making false statements John since they can and will be used against you.

@Ken

What? And now you have pushed the REAL content further down with nonsense. Seriously, delete the info and let the guys who are trying to figure out the Detroit waiver situation be able to see their posts. Post this garbage in a post people can skip if they want to.
