Acts commited outside Canada for inadmisiblity

[mn10908]

Hi guys!

I would like for senior members or anyone to shed more light on the "acts"committed outside Canada for inadmissibility of Permanent residents/foreigners. If you can also explain what grounds need to be established for IMO's to deem someone inadmissibility under this category.
Also are convictions/charges necessary outside Canada for inadmissibility? Any real life examples where people have been inadmissible due to "acts" committed outside Canada where Immigration officials deemed someone inadmissible under this category would be appreciative.

Thanks!

Permanent Residents are never, to my knowledge, inadmissible. They can lose their status for acts committed inside Canada, and it's possible (I don't know) that they could lose their status for acts committed outside Canada; but that would be after a process, and they would be admitted to Canada while it played out. I don't think this happens, though, and I suspect it is not possible.

Foreigners can be admissible to Canada for many, many, many reasons -- here are some of them:

If you want to see real examples, search the word "inadmissible" on this forum. There are plenty of stories here.

As for examples, a simple DUI from outside of Canada typically renders a foreigner inadmissible.

I found this on the government of Canada website. I guess from this PR's can be inadmisble under serious criminality....

Serious criminality

36. (1) A permanent resident or a foreign national is inadmissible on grounds of serious criminality for
(a) having been convicted in Canada of an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years, or of an offence under an Act of Parliament for which a term of imprisonment of more than six months has been imposed;
(b) having been convicted of an offence outside Canada that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years; or
(c) committing an act outside Canada that is an offence in the place where it was committed and that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years.
