Rehabilitation Application for Canada?

Question

Before I joined the US Army, I had been convicted of 3 felonies. The Army really turned my life around and I ended up in Iraq for a year, being decorated multiple times. Would my military service help my rehabilitation application be accepted so i can join my fiancee in Canada or do I have to go another route to be able to live there with her?

Answer 1

Your felony record may stop you from being allowed entry despite your military heroics. You need to be pardoned. Here is a website to help with your rehab list. Good luck and welcome aboard.

Answer 2

not sure about your question ? i did a search :here is something to read :
Who Can't Enter Canada.

To begin, in Canada a DWI is a felony and therefore an excludable offense under the Immigration Act. A DWI is an indictable offense in Canada that may be punished by imprisonment for up to a five year term. Anyone with a conviction in the U.S. that is treated as a felony or indictable offense in Canada is excludable from Canada, but even if the offense is not a felony or indictable offense in Canada, Customs and Immigration Officers have ultimate authority to permit and deny entry to their country.

Almost all convictions (including DUI, DWI, reckless driving, negligent driving, misdemeanor drug possession, all felonies, domestic violence (assault V), shoplifting, theft, etc) can make a person inadmissible to Canada, regardless of when they occurred. For this reason, it is not recommended that persons with past convictions attempt to enter Canada without first obtaining necessary documents. It is always the final decision of officers at ports of entry to decide whether a person should be allowed into Canada.


The reason for this exclusion is contained in Canadian law. The Canadian Immigration Act, in § 19; states:

(2) No immigrant and, except as provided in subsection (3), no visitor shall be granted admission if the immigrant or visitor is a member of any of the following classes:

(a) persons who have been convicted in Canada of an indictable offense, or of an offense for which the offender may be prosecuted by indictment or for which the offender is punishable on summary conviction, that may be punishable under any Act of Parliament by a maximum term of imprisonment of less than ten years, other than an offense designated as a contravention under the Contraventions Act;

(a.1) persons who there are reasonable grounds to believe

(i) have been convicted outside Canada of an offense that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an offense that may be punishable by way of indictment under any Act of Parliament by a maximum term of imprisonment of less than ten years, or

(ii) have committed outside Canada an act or omission that constitutes an offense under the laws of the place where the act or omission occurred and that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an offense that may be punishable by way of indictment under any Act of Parliament by a maximum term of imprisonment of less than ten years, except persons who have satisfied the Minister that they have rehabilitated themselves and that at least five years have elapsed since the expiration of any sentence imposed for the offense or since the commission of the act or omission, as the case may be;

i hope this helps ?
