Can I travel to other countries while my Interpol Red Notice challenge is pending?

Travel during an active challenge carries significant risk. While the Commission for the Control of Interpol’s Files (CCF) reviews your case — typically 9 to 12 months — the Red Notice remains visible to border authorities in all 196 member states. Canada Border Services Agency and foreign counterparts may detain you upon entry, potentially triggering extradition proceedings. We generally advise clients to postpone non-essential international travel until the CCF issues its decision or, at minimum, to obtain a legal risk assessment for each specific destination before departure.
