A Foreign National, including a Permanent Resident, may be inadmissible for immigration to Canada for a number of reasons.  In the case of a Permanent Resident who is living in Canada, the person may be deported to his country of origin.

These reasons are: 

● security, e.g. violence or terrorism

● human or international rights violations, e.g. war crimes

● criminality, e.g. driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol

● organized crime, e.g. people smuggling or money laundering

● health grounds, i.e. if the person’ s condition is likely to endanger public health

● financial reasons, i.e. if the applicant is unable or unwilling to self-support 

● misrepresentation, e.g. providing false information on employment

Inadmissibility based on these grounds may be overcome if certain criteria are met but the timelines are very tight.  If you have received a Procedural Fairness Letter or have allegedly committed one of the offence listed above, please contact us immediately.
