Hi

It depends what the conviction was for.  If it equates to an offence that you could have received less than 10 years on indictment under the Criminal Code, 5 years after the completion of the sentence you can apply for rehab.  If it was an offence that is only proceeded summarily in Canada, then with one you are not inadmissible.  Example.  DUI makes you inadmissible and you can't apply for rehab until 5 years have passed.  If you have an extremely good reason why you need to enter Canada, you can apply for a TRP (Temporary Residence Permit)
