Criminal Rehabilitation Applications
Overcome Criminal Inadmissibility and Move Forward With Your Immigration Goals
A past criminal offence or conviction outside Canada can make you criminally inadmissible to Canada, potentially affecting your ability to visit, work, study, or immigrate. Depending on the circumstances, individual rehabilitation may provide a pathway to overcome this inadmissibility. Generally, applicants must have completed their sentence and meet the applicable five-year eligibility requirements.
Our immigration lawyers provide professional assistance with Criminal Rehabilitation Applications, including assessing your criminal history, reviewing court and sentencing records, preparing the required forms and supporting evidence, and developing submissions explaining your rehabilitation. IRCC considers factors such as the circumstances of the offence, your conduct since the offence, your current lifestyle, employment, community support, and why you are unlikely to commit further offences.
Top 3 Areas We Help With
01
Criminal Inadmissibility Assessment
We review your convictions, offences, sentence completion dates, and immigration history to determine whether criminal inadmissibility may apply and what options could be available.
02
Individual Rehabilitation Applications
We assist with preparing IMM 1444 Criminal Rehabilitation Applications, supporting documents, character evidence, and detailed submissions demonstrating rehabilitation.
03
Deemed Rehabilitation & Alternative Options
We assess whether you may qualify for deemed rehabilitation or whether another solution, such as a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP), may be appropriate depending on your circumstances.
Ready to Overcome Your Criminal Inadmissibility?
A past conviction does not necessarily mean that you can never enter or immigrate to Canada. If you are concerned about a criminal record affecting your visitor visa, work permit, study permit, permanent residence, or family sponsorship, obtaining a professional assessment can help you understand your options.
Our immigration lawyers can review your criminal history, court documents, sentence completion dates, immigration circumstances, and rehabilitation evidence. We can then explain whether individual rehabilitation, deemed rehabilitation, a TRP, or another legal pathway may be appropriate for your situation.
If you are planning to travel to Canada, it is important to address potential criminal inadmissibility before travelling, as being refused entry at the border can create additional complications.
