Inadmissibility

A prior criminal record can result in a Canadian Immigration Officer refusing their entry, or application, on the basis of criminal inadmissibility.

If you have been found to be criminally inadmissible to Canada, or think you may be inadmissible, it is important to know that you still have options.

Overcome Inadmissibility

There are three main ways of overcoming criminal inadmissibility to Canada:

• Rehabilitation: Individuals considered criminally inadmissible may be allowed to enter Canada if the government of Canada considers them criminally rehabilitated.

• Temporary Resident Permit: A TRP is a document issued to individuals who are otherwise inadmissible to Canada, allowing them to enter the country.

• Legal Opinion Letter: A legal opinion letter, written by an attorney, can help an individual gain entry to Canada.
