    Until he’s sentenced, he’s free to walk around. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for November 26.

    However, if he appeals, expect him to continue to walk around free until the entire appeals process is completed.

    Now a convicted felon can forget about traveling to Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. They share the U.S.'s felony database.

    You can still visit 99% of the rest of the world, though. Just need to not apply for any visas or ever fill out any customs paperwork admitting to it.

    Every country that says ‘Visa not required’ or ‘Visa on demand’, should be good to go. That includes Japan.

    Now, If a country has an ‘eVisa’, ‘ETA (Electronic Travel Authority)’ or ‘Visa required’, he’d probably won’t travel to those

      For the fifth time, he just needs to fill up some paperwork and the Canadian border service agency decides to allow him in or not, the same right is given to any person with a criminal record visiting Canada.

      George W. Bush has a record for DUI and the same process was necessary whenever he visited Canada, they never prevented him from entering the country, just like they’ll never prevent Trump from entering Canada.

          Doesn’t matter, the process to ask to be allowed in is the same.

          Also, in this specific case, the rape accusations were in civil court so they’re not accusations that would prevent him from entering Canada. The charges that made him a felon are the ones related to the hush money.

      You can be free to walk around but that doesn’t mean Canada has to let you through immigration.
