Criminal Inadmissibility
Canada takes security and public safety seriously. If you’ve been convicted of a crime inside or outside Canada, you may be found criminally inadmissible, which can prevent you from entering or remaining in the country.
How It Works
Assessment – IRCC considers the nature of the offence, equivalency under Canadian law, and time since completion of sentence.
Options to overcome:
Deemed rehabilitation – for minor offences after a set number of years.
Individual rehabilitation – formal application showing reform and good conduct.
Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) – if you have a compelling reason to enter Canada despite inadmissibility.
Submit required applications – Each route has specific forms, fees, and supporting documents.
Why It Matters
Criminal inadmissibility doesn’t have to be permanent.
With proper guidance, many applicants resolve past offences.
At Nivara Immigration, we review your case, determine the best pathway, and prepare strong submissions for rehabilitation or TRP.
