Travel To Canada On A Music Tour

If you are a musician or a person employed by a music tour but you have a criminal history, you will likely be inadmissible to enter Canada unless you apply for a permit.

People travelling to Canada as part of a music tour often wonder if they will be free to travel if they have a past criminal history. Luckily, these people are often able to travel after securing either a Temporary Resident Permit or Criminal Rehabilitation.

If you are an American citizen and you have no criminal history, you are free to travel to Canada. Under some circumstances, depending on what sort of show you'll be involved in, you may need a work permit but this will likely be specified by the venue at which the show will take place and the nature of your position in Canada.
