Have You Been Denied Entry to Canada?

Do you have Criminal Record?

If you have been denied entry into Canada because of a prior criminal charge such as a DWI, an assault Charge or another offense, you will need to acquire a Temporary Resident Permit, abbreviated as TRP.

The TRP is a special visitor permit that is offered through the Citizenship and Immigration Canada. A TRP can allow you to enter Canada temporarily even if you have previously been denied because of your criminal or medical history

Why Wasn’t I Allowed to Enter Canada?

Canadian immigration regulations are strict when it comes to even minor criminal offenses, even for offences that have occurred many years ago. It is always important to consulate with a Canadian immigration lawyer regarding any possibility of refusal or denial of entry to Canada due to criminal offences. A qualified Canadian immigration lawyer can advise you on whether your criminal offence makes you inadmissible to Canada or not.

You may want to consider not waiting until you are in or near Canada to apply for the TRP. You may not be allowed in even after you have driven or flown all the way there. Also, Immigrations authorities may detain you without notice if there is anything in your record that concerns them.

How Long Do Temporary Resident Permits Last?

• A TRP can last months or years. They might also only last one visit. TRP’s may vary depending on your circumstances.
• If your conviction is more than 5 years old, you might be able to remove your disqualification. You would need to apply for a Criminal Rehabilitation. If that application is approved, you will no longer be inadmissible due to your prior conviction.
• The Criminal Rehabilitation application can be filed at the Canada/US border as long as you are a citizen from a visa exempt country. If not, this application can be made at a Canadian Consulate or Embassy.
