Toronto Immigration Lawyers Advising Employees on Inadmissibility into Canada due to a Criminal Record

Previous criminal convictions can present a serious difficulty for individuals wishing to enter Canada, whether for work, study, or other purposes. The issue is made more complicated by the fact that Canada has a stricter interpretation for certain acts, which in other countries may be considered less serious.
