ANY country has the right to deny entry to ANYONE with a criminal record ... even if the country is the individual's home nation.
When entering, an individual is asked (either in person or in the entry document) whether they have a criminal record. If the individual lies and is caught, the punishment can be pretty severe - up to and including deportation, followed by a ban on future entry to the country for ANY reason. And remember, deportation means being escorted out of the nearest point of entry ... which could be something like the Peace Bridge between Windsor ON and Detroit MI. How the individual gets home from there is NOT Canada's problem!
Canada will refuse entry to individuals who have been convicted of felonies (or often enough, simply charged with one). There is no statute of limitations on felonies; they are permanently on an individual's record (internationally), because a pardon is only effective for the jurisdiction in which it was issued.
They will also refuse entry to anyone charged with a "driving under the influence" crime, even if it is a misdemeanor. Other misdemenaors are treated on a case-by-case basis ... some are dealt with more severely than others.
Basically, anyone with a criminal record has probably forfeited the privilege of international travel.

Talk to the visa section at Canada House in London explain your situation they should give you an answer. You may not like the answer they give you, but then you will know for sure.
If you have a valid passport issued by the UK govenment then you may be able to enter Canada

It depends on how many offenses, what they are, when they are, and how old you are.
Generally it has to be 5 to 10 years since the end of your penalty, unless you only have a Juvenal record. If you have a long record or very serious crimes you wont get in at all. 2 very minor crimes is about the limit. Mostly without specifics, its best that you look at the criminally inadmissible section of the CIC link.

Only Canadian Immigration can answer your question. If the crime was minor you may be allowed in. You will have to ask the right people.

As you don;t need a visa to visit Canada, I doubt it's an issue...
And to the answerer above, yeah, all people with criminal records are OBVIOUSLY terrorists. Jackass.......
