Since Canada is welcoming hundreds of thousands of people from the 3rd world and countries with very corrupt governments. I am wondering how the embassy deals with criminal records. For instance I spent a long time in Morocco and noticed the definition of crime is very very different there. For instance a gang related act of violence and drug dealing is not always a crime but criticizing the political leaders can get you 15 years in Prison. So how does the Canadian embassy handle criminal backgrounds from such countries?

Equivalency - in order to be criminally inadmissible in Canada the foreign conviction must correspond with an unlawful act in Canada.
The criminal statutes are compared to see if the act would also be illegal here in Canada. Anyone convicted for criticizing some tin pot dictator will not be criminally inadmissible. Someone who punched someone in the face will be.
