Certain individuals are deemed inadmissible and are not allowed to enter Canada. Inadmissibility can be due to involvement in criminal activity, human rights violations, organized crime, security concerns, health issues, or financial reasons.

Criminal inadmissibility

If you have committed or been convicted of a criminal offense, you may be denied entry into Canada. This includes both minor and serious offenses such as theft, assault, manslaughter, dangerous driving, and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
