(35,897 posts)No, Canada generally does not allow convicted felons to visit:
Immigration law: Individuals convicted of indictable offenses are considered "inadmissible" under Canadian immigration law.
Border security: Border officers can deny entry to anyone with a criminal record, even if they have a valid passport.
However, there are some ways to overcome criminal inadmissibility, including:
Temporary Resident Permit (TRP): A TRP allows a visitor with a criminal record to enter Canada for a limited time. However, the odds of getting a TRP are lower for people convicted of serious offenses, especially if they are still serving a sentence.
Criminal rehabilitation: You can apply for individual rehabilitation and get approved.
Pardon or record suspension: You can become admissible again if you receive a pardon or record suspension.
To apply for a TRP, you'll need to:
Complete an online application form
Submit required documents, including a valid passport, proof of funds, and a criminal record check
Explain the reason for your criminal inadmissibility and why your entry into Canada may be justified
You can submit your TRP application at a Canadian consulate or any port of entry.
