If you were convicted of or committed a criminal offence outside Canada, you may overcome this criminal inadmissibility
• by applying for rehabilitation, or
• you may be deemed to have been rehabilitated if at least ten years have passed since you completed the sentence imposed upon you, or since you committed the offence, if the offence is one that would, in Canada, be an indictable offence punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of less than ten years.
If the offence is one that would, in Canada, be prosecuted summarily and if you were convicted for two (2) or more such offences, that period is at least five (5) years after the sentences imposed were served or to be served.
I have completed a full course of treatment of TB recently and fully discharged.
1. If you have active TB you will be refused most likely.
2. If you have inactive TB your visa may be issued, but you will have to attend a TB clinic in Canada for medical surveillance
Is it best to hire a lawyer? or should i just go ahead with bunac and apply myself?
To retain an Attorney or go with Bunac, is something I wouldn't be able to advise on, maybe another member has gone/passed through it.
Life is short, so let's get moving!
