Previous Convictions:
Section 19 of Canada’s Immigration Act prohibits the admission of people who
pose a threat to public health, safety, order, and national security. Prior to
attempting a border crossing, American citizens who have had a criminal
conviction in the past must contact the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate
well in advance to determine their admissibility as visitors into Canada. If
found inadmissible, an immigration officer will advise whether a waiver
(Minister’s Permit) is possible.
PLEASE NOTE: A criminal conviction in Canada is defined as both misdemeanors
and felonies, including Juvenile convictions.
If you have any concerns that you might not be able to meet the requirements
of entry into Canada, please contact Canadian Immigration for additional
information. Applicants hired into positions that cross into Canada will be
subject to background checks by the Canadian government. Denial of entry into
Canada will result in inability to complete job requirements and will
therefore result in reassignment and/or termination of employment.
