Criminal inadmissibility factors
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) classifies an individual applying for immigration criminally inadmissible if he has committed a crime or has been convicted of a crime. He is considered inadmissible if he has committed a serious crime that would be punishable of at least a maximum of 10 years in Canada. Minor and serious crimes include theft, assault, manslaughter, dangerous driving, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, possession or trafficking of drugs and controlled substances.
However, criminal convictions may be overcome depending on some factors like deemed rehabilitation, individual rehabilitation, pardon, or temporary resident permit.* O. Montelibano
