Inadmissible to Canada

Inadmissible to Canada

Some people are not allowed to enter Canada when they apply for a visa, an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or when they arrive at a port of entry. They are called ‘inadmissible’ under Canada’s Immigration law. While you are not admissible to enter Canada, under justified circumstances you may be permitted to enter under a temporary resident permit.

Reasons or grounds for inadmissibility: A Canadian Immigration Officer may decide that you are inadmissible to enter Canada for reasons on security grounds (espionage, subversion, violence or terrorism or involvement thereto), human or international rights violations (war crimes, crimes against humanity, as a senior government official engage in gross human rights violation or subject to international sanctions), committing a crime (this includes impaired driving), membership in organized crimes, medical reasons (endangering public health or safety, causing excessive demand on health or social services), financial reasons, misrepresentation, failure to comply with IRPA provisions or having an inadmissible family member.

Steps to overcome criminal inadmissibility: You must prove to your immigration officer that you are deemed to be rehabilitated (sufficient time has passed and you are not likely to commit new crimes) or applied for rehabilitation, granted a record suspension or have a temporary resident permit.
