Deportation Orders
If you have ever been convicted of, or have been charged with an offence outside of Canada then you may be inadmissible to Canada. This means you will be denied a visa or you may be denied entry to Canada at the border.

If you have ever been convicted of, or have been charged with an offence outside of Canada then you may be inadmissible to Canada. This means you will be denied a visa or you may be denied entry to Canada at the border.
It is important to remember that the Immigration Officer or the Border Services Officer will base your conviction on Canadian law, not the country in which it happened.
The action required to overcome the inadmissibility will depend on the severity of the offence and when it occurred. Depending on your reason for travelling to Canada you may be eligible for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) or you may qualify for rehabilitation.
This is a complex issue and often, clients confuse criminal law with immigration law. The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) outlines inadmissibility pertaining to criminality.
If you are a temporary resident or a permanent resident, a conviction in Canada can lead to a deportation order.

Rehabilitation removes the grounds of criminal inadmissibility. Canadian immigration officials will make a determination of whether you are likely to be involved in any further criminal activity and assess the risks of you entering Canada. If you were inside Canada when the act was committed then a record suspension or pardon is necessary to re-enter Canada if you received removal order as a result.
Eligibility for rehabilitation depends on how your offence compares to the Criminal Code of Canada. For example, Canadian officials will determine how your offence would be punishable if it were committed in Canada. It is not the penalty you received that matters, it is the penalty you would receive if you committed the act in Canada.
