What is the Difference Between Criminal Rehabilitation & Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)
Individuals cannot avail of criminal rehabilitation in Canada if their period after sentence completion is less than five years. Still, they can apply for a temporary resident permit (TRP) to gain entry and qualify for rehabilitation.
There are certain conditions which make an individual eligible for criminal rehabilitation. You are authorized to apply for criminal rehabilitation Canada in case:
- You have a criminal record outside Canada.
- It’s been at least 5 years since completing your sentence (for instance, fines or probation)
- You are facing criminal inadmissibility Canada under the Canadian immigration law, which restricts your entry or immigration.
- You want to study, work, visit or immigrate for a short or long-term stay.
There are some cases when you are automatically deemed rehabilitated without the need to apply for criminal rehabilitation Canada, such as:
- More than 10 years of tenure have passed since the sentence was completed.
- You were sentenced for a minor offence with no new criminal activity
Only IRCC or CBSA officers are authorized to determine deemed rehabilitation status at entry. The GBWS expert team carefully reviews your case and makes certified criminal record checks to confirm whether you are already eligible for deemed rehabilitation.
If you don’t have rehabilitation or you didn’t address the criminal inadmissibility Canada, you may have to experience serious consequences such as visa refusals and border rejections. However, criminal rehabilitation is an effective solution to overcome this issue. It enables you to:
- Improve your chances for permanent citizenship
- Get a visa for study, tourism or business purposes
- Resolve criminal inadmissibility issues
- Pave the way for future immigration application
You should meet the following essential requirements before applying for criminal rehabilitation.
- You must have finished your sentence five years ago.
- You don’t have new or pending criminal charges after completing the original sentence.
- Your offence falls under the Canadian criminal law.
- You have demonstrated good conduct since your conviction.
GBWS immigration experts carefully review your criminal record checks to verify your eligibility before your application submission.
