What happens when CBP denies entry?
You receive a formal denial or withdrawal record. CBP retains this data. Future attempts without a waiver often repeat the denial and can worsen your profile.
What not to do
Do not repeatedly attempt entry hoping officers will overlook your record. Do not provide inconsistent offence histories across attempts. Lawful pathway: I-192 approval.
What to do instead
- Document the denial circumstances
- Obtain RCMP and court records
- Assess inadmissibility category
- Prepare I-192 with personal statement and references
- Submit and wait for decision before travel
