For U.S. immigration purposes, expungements do not erase the consequences of a criminal conviction. Only vacating a conviction or obtaining an executive pardon can do that.

You should consult a Canadian immigration attorney to find out what other relief might be available. (that is, what other facts or factors Canadian law might consider.
I don't know if you consulted with an attorney, or were denied entry at the border, but It is likely you will get more reliable information from a Canadian attorney. 1 person marked this answer as good

Georgia does have an expungment statute; however, generally, they are tough to get if they were not negotiated on the front end as part of the plea. Check out the GBI's website for more info:
