Immigration & Visa so far
As a Canadian permanent resident or applicant looking to maintain or change your immigration status, you must continue to meet the admissibility requirements set out in Canadian law. The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) outlines several grounds on which a resident or applicant may be found inadmissible.
Immigration authorities assess each applicant's background and circumstances to determine admissibility when reviewing visa, permanent residence, or entry applications.
Foreign nationals already living in Canada can be found inadmissible for reasons such as a criminal record, certain medical conditions, security concerns, or misrepresentation in their Canadian immigration documents. This may affect their ability to remain in Canada lawfully.
When applying for permanent residence from within Canada, applications may be refused for similar reasons, including criminality, medical inadmissibility, misrepresentation, or failure to meet residency requirements.
A person with a criminal record, including offenses such as impaired driving or other serious crimes, may be denied entry or status in Canada.
Applicants whose health condition poses a danger to public health or safety or is likely to cause excessive demand on health or social services can be refused entry.
Providing false, misleading, or incomplete information on an immigration application can result in a finding of inadmissibility and a ban from entering Canada.
Permanent residents who fail to meet the required physical presence in Canada—730 days within five years—may lose their status and become inadmissible.
Involvement in or association with organized criminal activity, such as people smuggling or money laundering, leads to inadmissibility
Individuals involved in espionage, subversion, terrorism, or violence, or those who are members of organizations engaged in such activities, are inadmissible on security grounds.
Participation in war crimes, crimes against humanity, or being a senior official in a regime responsible for such acts, results in inadmissibility to Canada.
Several remedies are available depending on the grounds for inadmissibility. Consulting an experienced Canadian immigration lawyer is often advisable, as they can assess your situation and recommend the most suitable legal strategy.
Criminal inadmissibility
Apply for criminal rehabilitation (after 5 or 10 years), seek a record suspension, or request a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP).
Medical inadmissibility
Respond to a Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL) with supporting evidence; reapply if refused on a TRV or Super Visa.
Misrepresentation
Challenge the decision by responding to a PFL, seeking judicial review in the Federal Court, or applying for a TRP if eligible.
