Am I "Criminally Inadmissible" to enter Canada?

In general, temporary residents and applicants applying for permanent residence are considered to be criminally inadmissible if the person:

> was convicted of an offense in Canada;

> was convicted of an offense outside of Canada that is considered a crime in Canada; and/or

> committed an act outside of Canada that is considered a crime under the laws of the country where it occurred and     would be punishable under Canadian law.



Note: In order to determine inadmissibility, foreign convictions and laws are equated to Canadian law as if they had occurred in Canada.
