The Basics of Criminal Inadmissibility

Whether you’ve been found guilty of committing a crime in Canada or any foreign country, you’ll be deemed criminally inadmissible in Canada when you apply for permanent residency.

The Canadian government can identify your criminal records from your visa application. Also, the Canadian Border Service Agency screens out every applicant from countries that don’t require a visa to visit Canada to ensure no applicant with a criminal record can enter the country without permission.

Applicants must also provide a Police Character Certificate, which discloses all types of arrests, convictions, and detentions you might have.

What is Criminal Rehabilitation?

Can you still try to migrate to Canada after you’re found to be criminally inadmissible? Yes, you can apply for criminal rehabilitation to get a Canadian visa if five years have passed since you were officially deemed guilty in a foreign country.

If you’re eligible for criminal rehabilitation, you should fill multiple rehabilitation forms and submit them to the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

What Are the Other Options?

If you’ve been found guility of committing a crime within Canada, unfortunately, you won’t be eligible for criminal rehabilitation. But, there are other legal options you can use.



If you’ve committed a minor criminal offence, you can apply for a record suspension from the Parole Board of Canada, which will help you clean your criminal record and help you with the immigration application.
