QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Common questions before you start
Is ten years always enough?+
No. The offence and Canadian classification determine whether deemed rehabilitation is available.
Do I need an application?+
Deemed rehabilitation may arise by law, but travellers often need evidence supporting the conclusion.
Does it apply to every DUI?+
No. Impaired-driving equivalency and offence dates require careful review.
What is Criminal Rehabilitation?+
It is an application that may permanently overcome criminal inadmissibility based on past offences outside Canada. Eligibility depends on the offence, sentence completion dates and your full record.
What is a Temporary Resident Permit?+
A TRP may allow temporary entry when there is a compelling reason to travel and the need to enter outweighs the risk. It is discretionary and different from permanent Criminal Rehabilitation.
Is the AI giving legal advice?+
No. The assistant helps collect information, explain general concepts and prepare a preliminary assessment. It does not guarantee eligibility or approval.
