Hello,

I'm studying for a visitor class but I don't understand how Canada assesses criminally inadmissible on a visitor as a police certificate is not a required document for a TRV/eTA application. Do they reliant on the applicant’s answer for the visit questionnaire? or does Canada share a database between countries?

Thank you.

The answer is both. They look at the applicant's answer - however they also share databases with some countries which give them access to this information regardless of what the applicant has indicated in their TRV/eTA application.
