Plainfield, IL asked in Criminal Law, International Law and Traffic Tickets for Illinois

Q: Can you travel internationally (Canada) if you complete court supervision for a Class A misdemeanor for speeding?

Can you travel internationally to places such as Canada or UAE if you completed court supervision for a Class A misdemeanor for speeding 35 MPH plus in the state of Illinois? My understanding is that upon completion of supervision it leads to a non conviction? Is this true and if not convicted are you still able to travel uninterrupted?

A: You may travel internationally, but I personally have seen U.S. citizens turned away from entering Canada for a variety of traffic and Criminal offenses regardless of the years past after that conviction, when they traveled by car.

A: You are represented, right? Instead of guessing, you should review the paperwork for restriction. If you are worried about immigration matter for Canada, you can ask a Canadian immigration attorney. If you are worried about immigration status for US, you should tell what your immigration status.
