Thinking about visiting Canada? It’s exciting, right? But before you pack your bags, let’s chat about Canada’s entry requirements. The country is very serious about keeping its borders safe!

Canada’s Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) want to ensure that everyone entering the country is safe. This means they can deny entry to anyone they think might pose a risk or commit a crime.

Sometimes, a person may not be allowed to enter due to health reasons—like if they might pose a public health risk or if their health condition could put a strain on social services.

What if you’re coming with family members? Well, anyone traveling with you who is older than 18 will also need to pass a police check. If they are found inadmissible, it might affect your ability to enter Canada too!

If you have a family member who is inadmissible, don’t worry too much! You still have options, like applying for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) or seeking Criminal Rehabilitation. Want to know more? Schedule a free legal consultation with experts who can guide you through the process!
