I being resident of India had visited U.S.A in 1999 and stayed there with legal status but unfortunately was arrested but not convicted on 14th Dec 2001. Police Department sentenced me to ARD (Accelerated Rehabilitated Disposition) for that I completed 35hours of community services, paid dues and fines and was on 12 month probation, as result of ARD my record would have been expunged. But when i came back to my home country after obtaining permission for travel on 3rd Sep 2002 for the stamps on changed visa status i was refused to enter USA because of unintentionally miss declarations.
On 3rd Nov. 2002. I was admitted in a sworn statement at the port of entry(loss Angles) before an officer that I did not disclose information about my prior arrest because I was under impression that the ARD program given to those with a very limited or no criminal record, and an opportunity to keep ones record clear after completing court ordered requirements. My intention was not to hide anything because I showed the ARD paper work and documents at the port of entry.
I was found to be inadmissible to the United States under the provisions of section 212(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act). In accordance with the provisions of section 212(a) (9) of the Act, i was prohibited from entering, attempting to enter, or being in the United States for a period of 5 years from the date(3rd Nov.2002) of his departure from the United States as consequence of having been found inadmissible as an arriving alien in proceedings under section 235(b) (1) or 240 of the Act.
Since then I never applied for any type of US Visa.I applied for the police clearance certificate to the U.S Department of justice on 6th Oct. 2017 and obtained “NO PRIOR ARREST DATA AT THE FBI” on 12th Oct. 2017. Now my Indian company wants to send me to Canada to establish/search for the possibilities of business. Can i get Canada business Visa or tourist visa? And i would declare all my previous detail.Pl advise me.
