@J Rogers I’ve been following your timeline since my first waiver! It’s been really helpful and honestly really accurate!
I got my second one year waiver today, I applied for it back in February. Original charges are youth trafficking charges, I tried to cross the border 4 years after the incident and told them the truth about my record and was denied.
Just wanted to say thanks for keeping this up, I’ve also applied by myself both times as it’s a very easy process and does not need any “special person” to make it go any faster.
2 waivers for a Youth Record that are both 1 year only is not a great result. (you should be on the cusp of a September Letter, not a 1 year waiver)
Revisit some aspects of the waiver, If you are submitting the same things, you will keep getting the same result. The Personal letter is a HUGE part of the application, as is rehabilitation.
"easy" is great, but $1100USD is $2200USD, and if all you got it 2 years worth of us, I would argue that you are "overpaying". Do not do the same application again, do it better.
I have a couple of clients who also got 1 year waivers twice, but they have SERIOUS adult records, with not a ton of time since. (I don't know your exact circumstances) Its rare to get the same result, at worst they usually get at least a 2 year waiver after the first 1 year. Youth convictions are not the same as adult.
So re-examine the application, and if you get another 1 year waiver, I would say that you actually paid MORE than for example, one of my clients who probably would be on a 5 year waiver by now. (bang for your bucks is how I judge the results)
When a person gets a 1 year waiver (much more common now under Trump) I try and change as much as possible. The adjudicator is never impressed when you submit the exact same application, and just assume they will give you a different result. Especially now. They have been DIRECTED to give all waiver applications EXTRA scrutiny which is why they are so slow. They have VERY few waivers in the pipeline, (I can tell by the application numbers) yet they continue to do them as slowly as possible.
You were also obviously in the faster line-up, but that is luck, your next application MAY take longer, so keep that in mind. Not all re-applications ended up in this line-up, I would actually say the majority of applications are in the longer line-up.
2 waivers, both for 5 years.
Reapplication. She had a 1 year. She had 9 convictions from 1981-2002. 2 of them were for trafficking.
The second guy had a conditional discharge in 2001 for possession of narcotics. 1st application.
Note the timelines. The re-application was end of February (26th) and the 1st time application was September 20
5 year waiver

@J Rogers Trying to reach you by email
1 year waiver - Reapplication
2006-2015 11 convictions, mostly assaults and minor thefts. An aggravated assault and possession of stolen property as well.
2 waivers, both for 1 year, hard to say if its a surprise, I thought maybe a 2 year but not in this case apparently.

September Letter
1998-Had and H1 visa from India, tried to get asylum, and was refused in 2006. Came to Canada. Technically was deported.
The "extra info" was because he did have a "charge" that was withdrawn in 2025 so we had to give court and additional info.
