Admissibility means you may not be allowed to enter or stay
in Canada
Published by Paragon Legal Services on 11th May, 2021
In Ontario and throughout
Canada, inadmissibility may be on the grounds of a criminal offence which you
committed in the past, health or financial reasons or misrepresentations that
you were unaware of. This list is by no means exhaustive. In fact, there are
many other grounds that you may be found inadmissible for entry for.
The term inadmissibility
refers to persons who are neither allowed to stay or enter into Canada because
they were previously convicted of a crime or some other serious offence. This
incident may have occurred either inside or outside of Canada.
A qualified legal professional can help with
advising on your inadmissibility.
At times, immigration
officers can decide someone is medically inadmissible for excessive demand
reasons. This means that they would require too much from the Canadian healthcare
system without being able to contribute in excess financially to the economy.
You may qualify to submit
a mitigation plan to assist you in pleading your case. At Paragon Notary and Paragon Legal Services,
you can contact us for information.
If persons don't need any
assistance from social services or outpatient prescription medications, then
they will not receive a mitigation plant because they cannot opt-out of
publicly-funded health services. Therefore, they are still medically
inadmissible and may not be able to enter into Canada.
For someone who is
criminally inadmissible, if there was a pardon for their crime or for some
reason their record was wiped clean, the immigration department may or may not
deem them inadmissible depending on the circumstances of each case.
Inadmissibility depends on
the facts of each situation and it is best to consult
with a qualified legal consultant or professional to understand where you
stand in terms of coming into Canada legally and migrating.
Normally, if you are
inadmissible, you would not be able to enter into Canada under their
immigration law. However, if you have a valid reason to travel to Canada then
you can be issued a temporary resident permit as circumstances can justify your
visit.
There are many penalties
involved when inadmissibility is an issue if you enter Canada without
permission. Although an immigration officer may stop you at the point of entry
from further proceeding into the country and into any province in particular.
A Canadian immigration officer decides if you are inadmissible or not and you can be denied an electronic travel authorization. Reasons for inadmissibility include:
- Espionage
- Subversion
- Violence or terrorism
- Human or international rights violations
- Crime
- Organized crime
- Medical reasons
- Financial reasons
- Misrepresentations
- Failure to comply with a provision
