🔍 What Is Inadmissibility?

Canada can find someone inadmissible to apply for Canadian PR or Visa for many reasons. Here are the main categories:

    1. Security reasons (e.g., espionage, terrorism)
    2. Human or international rights violations
    3. Serious criminality (e.g., crimes with a sentence of 6+ months)
    4. Criminality (e.g., criminal record, DUI, assault)
    5. Financial reasons (e.g., unable to support yourself)
    6. Medical inadmissibility (for Self or a family member)
    7. Misrepresentation (e.g., false info on visa/PR applications)
    8. Non-compliance with Act (e.g., overstaying your visa)
    9. An Admissible Family Member

⚖️ Can You Appeal?

✅ You can appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) if:

    • You’re a permanent resident found inadmissible (except for serious criminality)

    • You’re a sponsored family member whose application was refused

    • You’re a PR or protected person and your status is being revoked (e.g., due to misrepresentation or failing residency obligations)

❌ You cannot appeal to the IAD if:

    • You’re inadmissible for serious criminality (crime punishable by 10+ years, or sentenced to 6+ months)

    • You’re a foreign national (non-PR) with a visitor, work, or study permit

But even then, you might still be able to:

    • Apply for judicial review at the Federal Court

    • Make an H&C application (humanitarian and compassionate grounds)

📝 What to Do Next

Step 1: Check the Type of Inadmissibility

    • It should be listed in the removal order, refusal letter, or section 44 report.

Step 2: File a Notice of Appeal (if eligible)

    • Deadline: Usually 30 days from the date of the decision.

    • File to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD).

Step 3: Prepare for Your Appeal Hearing

    • Provide documents, affidavits, police records, letters of support, etc.

    • Make legal arguments showing why:
        • The decision was wrong, OR

        • You should be allowed to stay in Canada on H&C grounds.

👨‍⚖️ Examples of Arguments That Work

    • You’ve been a PR for many years with deep ties to Canada.

    • Your criminal act was minor and happened long ago.

    • You’ve been fully rehabilitated (proof of counseling, no repeat offenses).

    • You have a Canadian spouse or children who would suffer if you’re removed.

    • Your misrepresentation was unintentional or minor.

🛑 If You’re Already Facing a Removal Order

    • Appeals can stay your removal (pause it), but you must act fast.

    • Don’t ignore deadlines — get legal help immediately or file a Notice of Appeal to preserve your rights.
