Overcoming Inadmissibility to Enter or Remain in Canada
If you have a criminal record outside of Canada, you may be considered criminally inadmissible and denied entry or status. A Criminal Rehabilitation application is a formal process that allows you to demonstrate that you are no longer a risk and should be permitted to enter or remain in Canada legally.
At Sunder Law, we help clients submit strong rehabilitation applications to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Whether you’re looking to reunite with family, study, work, or immigrate permanently, we guide you through the process of overcoming past criminality with precision and discretion.
