Legal guidance to overcome inadmissibility due to criminal history or charges.

Being found criminally inadmissible to Canada can feel like the end of the road. But for many people, it's just the beginning of a more complex—but navigable—legal pathway.

Whether you've been denied entry, refused a visa, or stopped at the border due to a past conviction or charge, our legal team can help you:

• Understand why you were found inadmissible

• Determine if you're eligible for rehabilitation or a temporary resident permit (TRP)

• Prepare and submit a strong legal application to overcome your inadmissibility

Who Is Considered Criminally Inadmissible?

• Anyone with a conviction for a crime in Canada or another country that would be considered an offence in Canada

• This includes impaired driving (DUI), assault, theft, fraud, drug offences, or any crime considered serious in Canadian law

Your Legal Options:

• Criminal Rehabilitation: Permanent solution if at least 5 years have passed since sentence completion

• Temporary Resident Permit (TRP): Short-term entry permission, even if you are still inadmissible

• Record Suspension (Pardon in Canada): Removes a Canadian criminal record from public visibility and may support other applications or long-term strategies

Common Situations We Help With:

• Denied entry at a Canadian airport or land border

• Refused visitor or work visa due to past conviction

• Applicants with outdated or minor offences

• Canadian permanent residents facing deportation due to criminal issues

Why You Need Legal Support:

• These applications are complex and highly scrutinized

• Mistakes or weak reasoning can lead to further bans

• Proper legal documentation and advocacy can change outcomes
