The term inadmissibility is used to identify people who are not legally permitted in Canada. All inadmissibility provisions apply to foreign nationals and some apply to permanent residents. These provisions can be used to keep a person out of Canada or to initiate the removal of a person who is in Canada. The grounds for inadmissibility rage from security and human or international rights violations to criminality and medical reasons, and to financial grounds, misrepresentation, inadmissible family members and non-compliance with Canada’s immigration law. For example, if you have been convicted of driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, you may be inadmissible to Canada for serious criminality.
When you have any concerns regarding any grounds of inadmissibility, professional advice is highly recommended as there may be methods to overcome these issues before any final decision is rendered by immigration authorities.
