inadmissible to Canada /with a job offer

[teddybear1]

hello , my b/f is inadmissible to Canada but he has a job offer,would he still be able to get a work visa and apply to be admissible once he arrives here . thank you

He's inadmissible whether he has a job offer or not (the job offer doesn't change the fact he's inadmissible). So when he arrives, he should expect to be refused entry to Canada.

What are the reasons for his inadmissibility? Providing detailed information may allow us to help you more.

the selling of illegal cd`s ,he had to pay court cost and 3 years suspended sentence ,never had to report to any police during this time

When did he finish his three year suspended sentence?

 

[teddybear1]

the sentence ended in 2006

Then he should be eligible to apply for rehabilitation. That's what he needs to do if he wants to come to Canada now. He can't get a work permit without having an approved rehabilitation application first.

Since it's been more than 5 years since the end of his sentence, can he not be deemed rehabilitated without applying for rehabilitation?

No.

After 5 years you can apply for rehabilitation (depending on the crime).

After 10 years you are deemed rehabilitated (depending on the crime).

Right. My mistake.

I'm afraid I don't know of any lawyers.

It's difficult to say how long the process will take. Plan on several months at least. However there are a few people on this forum who have been waiting for well over a year.
