If you have a criminal record, entering Canada might be tricky. Canadian authorities could label you as “inadmissible” due to criminality, meaning you might be denied a visa, electronic travel authorization (eTA), or even entry at the border. 🛂
What does “criminal inadmissibility” mean? It means you’re not allowed to enter Canada because of past criminal activities. Factors like the seriousness of the offense, the sentence, and how much time has passed since the crime are considered. Crimes are classified as summary, indictable, or hybrid offenses. Summary offenses are less severe, while indictable offenses are more serious. Hybrid offenses are treated like indictable ones.
Can you still enter Canada?
Yes! You can apply for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP), Criminal Rehabilitation, or Deemed Rehabilitation based on your situation. 📝 Seeking guidance from an immigration lawyer can help ensure you’re fully prepared.
Remember, honesty is key with Canadian immigration authorities! Misrepresentation can lead to a 5-year ban from entering Canada. 🚫
