Many people believe that their conviction is minor, and they are puzzled when they are not admitted into Canada. Here are some factors that can consider your offence as minor:
Now remember, just because your conviction might be considered minor, it does not mean the officer will allow you entry or that you do not require a Temporary Resident Permit. If your offence falls under the “minor” category, still ensure that you have documentation showing the risk versus need. This way, you increase your chances of approval at the border.
You may become permanent residents of Canada if you have not become inadmissible on any grounds other than those for which the original permit was issued and they have resided in Canada for a period of:
AT LEAST THREE YEARS, AND | AT LEAST FIVE YEARS, AND |
• are inadmissible on health grounds under section A38(1); or |
|
• are inadmissible for having come to Canada as an accompanying family member of a foreign national who is inadmissible on health grounds; or | |
• are inadmissible on the grounds of having come to Canada as an accompanying family member of a person described above. |
Temporary Resident Visa or TRV is a visa to enter Canada. Persons who come from a country which requires a visa to enter Canada will require the TRV. If you are from a visa-exempt country, then you do not require this. Essentially, this document is citizenship specific.
A TRP, on the other hand, is a permit to overcome your inadmissibility to Canada. For example, if you have a criminal record, you might require a TRP regardless of your citizenship. TRP has nothing to do with your citizenship. An example would be an American who is convicted of DUI or DWI may require a TRP to enter to Canada.
