Have you been denied entry to Canada. By virtue of law, only Canadian citizens have an unqualified right to enter. Foreign nations or even permanent resident may be denied entry at one of the borders of Canada. There are a number of reasons why you may be denied entry and these can include:
- National security
- Human or international rights violations
- Organized crime
- Serious or Simple Criminality
- Medical reasons
- Financial reasons
- Misrepresentation
- Incompliance with Canadian immigration laws
- Having an inadmissible family member(s)
Canada Security Border Agency is responsible for protecting Canadian borders. They review thoroughly each person wishing to enter Canada. If they find you inadmissible there is a risk that you may be denied entry.
Criminal inadmissibility statistically is the most common reason for a non-Canadian to be denied entry to Canada. This can happen even in cases where you were convicted of a non-violent crime, such as drinking and driving and even when conviction(s) is historical.
If you were denied entry, time is of the essence. Depending on your circumstances you may also have a right to challenge the refused entry at the Immigration Refugee Board and/or the Federal Court of Canada.
There may also be other legal options and you may be able to overcome the inadmissibility with a temporary resident permit, and/or through a criminal rehabilitation.
