In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before leaving for your trip, assess whether or not you meet the criteria for being deemed rehabilitated. If you don’t, you risk being denied entry into Canada. To be deemed rehabilitated, you must satisfy the following:   you have had only one conviction in total or committed one crime at least 10 years have passed since you completed your sentence; 5 years for summary (or minor) offenses the crime you committed is not considered a “serious” crime in Canada (i.e., the maximum prison sentence if convicted in Canada would have been less than 10 years) the crime did not entail use of a weapon, physical harm to a person, or involve serious property damage.  Note that simply because your criminal records were sealed or expunged, you may still be prevented from entering Canada. The same applies to being pardoned. Getting a certificate of innocence may carry more weight. Canada weighs a conviction in the United States and other foreign countries against their own legal statutes.  Although a conviction may qualify as only a misdemeanor in the United States, what matters is how much time you would serve if the crime were committed in Canada. You can find information about Canadian laws and punishments by visiting your library, contacting a Canadian consulate office, or looking up crimes at the Canadian Legal Institute Information website. You must present documentation about your conviction to a Canadian official at the port of entry. If you don't already have these documents, locate them:  a passport, or a birth certificate plus photo identification a copy of court documents for each conviction, plus proof that all sentences were completed a recent criminal record check a recent police certificate from the country you were convicted in, and from any country where you lived for at least six months during the past 10 years. You should give yourself several months to find any necessary documents you are missing.  You may get a passport at a post office. Copy of court documents are available at the courthouse where you were convicted. You may get a criminal record check from local police. Go to the police office where you live and request the check. They will provide you with a printout of the results. If you live in the United States, you should get a criminal record check from each state you have lived in for at least 6 consecutive months since turning 18. A recent police certificate may be obtained by contacting the FBI. Write to “FBI, Criminal Justice Information Services Division—Summary Request, 1000 Custer Hollow Road, Clarksburg, WV 26306.” An immigration officer will assess you at the point of entry. If you are denied, then you will not be allowed to enter Canada.   There is no guarantee you will be deemed rehabilitated and allowed to enter Canada, even if enough time has passed since you served your sentence. If you do not want to risk being turned away, then you should apply for individual rehabilitation at least 6 months before your planned trip. At a bare minimum, if you plan to just go to the border or fly into Canada, you should have a legal opinion prepared by an attorney stating that your criminal convictions should qualify you as "deemed rehabilitated." Even if you have this document, however, you will not necessarily be admitted.
Summary: Perform a self-assessment. Research Canadian law. Gather all necessary documents. Secure documents you are missing. Travel to a Canadian Port of Entry.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Open your mouth and stretch out the back of your throat as far as you can go. Start by mimicking a yawn, widening the back of your mouth without tensing or straining your throat muscles. If your throat is closed, your voice won't flow and your tone won't be warm and rich. If you are not relaxed, you will not be able to sing with vibrato. Release all of the tension in your body through relaxation exercises before you start singing to strengthen your natural vibrato.  Vibrato should come naturally if you relax. Avoid straining the muscles in your mouth or the rest of your body for a clear sound. If your larynx is tense, it won't be able to waver back and forth as you sing, which is what produces vibrato. Good posture is essential for maintaining a strong, clear vibrato. Sit or stand with one foot slightly in front of the other, and your neck, head, and back all in a straight line.  If you're sitting, sit on the edge of your chair with your back straight and your head facing directly forward. Do not look down, even to read your music sheet. To practice keeping your body relaxed and spine straight while engaging your breath support muscles, lay flat on the floor on your back while singing. Shallow breaths can ruin your natural vibrato's strength. When you need to breathe, take steady and even breaths while filling your lungs as much as possible. Engage your abdominal muscles to support your diaphragm. Achieving vibrato requires plenty of consistent breath. from your diaphragm. Take a deep breath in from your lungs and, opening your mouth, sing while breathing out. Keep your shoulders level and while you sing, try to focus the sound in the center of your stomach rather than your chest. If you feel like you're forcing the sound or your throat hurts, you may not be singing from your diaphragm. Try to sing not from your chest but downward, towards your stomach. Vibrato is a quick variation in pitch that develops naturally as your voice matures. While following the proper singing technique, listen for this variation in your voice—the more you practice, the more likely your vibrato will develop.  Not every person's voice has a pronounced vibrato, even among professional singers. If your vibrato is softer or less pronounced than others you know, you may just have a subtle vibrato. Unlike some singing techniques, vibrato is more developed than taught. Practicing proper singing, breathing, and posture techniques can help you develop a vibrato over time. You may find it helpful to use an app like Spectrogram or Singscope while practicing vibrato. These tools can show if the variations of your pitch occur evenly, which indicates you're singing with a natural vibrato. If you still don't notice a vibrato sound while you sing, check your posture, muscle tension, and breathing. Adjust for any errors that you notice and try singing again.  You may not notice vibrato right away, as it takes time to develop. By practicing the right posture and singing technique, however, you can develop and strengthen your vibrato over time. If you're putting too much tension in your jaw, for example, that can inhibit your vibrato. Let your jaw relax and try to sing with vibrato again.
Summary: Widen the back of your throat. Relax all of the muscles in your body. Sit or stand up straight. Breathe steadily and evenly. Sing Listen for a fast pitch oscillation when you sing. Troubleshoot for any issues if you don't hear a vibrato.
