Can someone please confirm if this is right? i found it on a website

If you have been charged with a crime but not convicted, you are not required to go through any formal process to enter Canada. However, we always recommend that a person with a charge that appears on their criminal record have the charge explained with a legal opinion letter. The purpose of this letter is to explain why under Canadian immigration law you are not criminally inadmissible to Canada. This applies to those who have been deemed rehabilitated as well.
 
I think that vastly oversimplifies the situation. Being charged can in fact make you inadmissible to Canada. Depends on the charges.
 
My husband had been charged back in 2006. He didn't have jail time but he had to pay a fine. He was refused and deemed inadmissible.
