Immigration Inadmissibility

In order to protect the Canadian public, otherwise qualified applicants for Canadian permanent residency may be refused a Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa if they or their dependents:

• Do not meet the medical requirements
• Do not pass security clearance or
• Are inadmissible due to criminality

In certain circumstances, an individual who does not meet the Canadian medical requirements or who is inadmissible due to criminality may be granted a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) to enter Canada.
