Your past criminal convictions could be the reason why you have been denied entrance into Canada. Some of the reasons why you could be denied entrance include:
Before you can be denied entrance, the courts must accept that the same offense you have pending in another country is also a criminal offense in Canada. Some convictions in other countries, such as those based on religious conduct, would not have an equivalent charge in Canada; therefore, you cannot be denied entrance based on the foreign criminal conviction. If you have criminal convictions in Canada, you could be denied entrance – the amount of time will depend on the type of criminal conviction that is on your record.
Even if you have been convicted of a crime, there is still a chance that you could be admitted into Canada. You could apply for temporary entrance, as well as criminal rehabilitation. To learn more, please give us a call.
