admission to canada

[lunfardo]

i got deported from the united states back in january of 2012 for an aggravated felony. an actual crime never took place but nevertheless under american immigration law just conspiring to commit a serious crime under immigration is automatically an aggravated felony. how many years before i can be considered rehabilitated under canadian immigration law to obtain a maple leaf card if i wanted to apply under the business investor category? even if someone has a ton of money to try and qualify under the business investor category, how many years before being considered rehabilitated under canadian immigration law? how many years before being considered admissible if one made only one mistake while living in the united states as a permanent resident? can someone ever be considered rehabiliated under canadian immigration law ever? can someone or anyone please tell me. thank you.

Convictions / offences outside Canada

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, the period for rehabilitation is at least five (5) years after the sentences imposed were served or are to be served.

So ten years after deportation unless you apply to be deemed rehabilitated

Then you're inadmissible to Canada for at least five years from the time you complete your sentence / penalty for that aggravated felony. So the absolute best case scenario is that you'll be able to enter Canada in 2017.

No point applying to immigrate until at least 2017.

You need to have $1.6 million dollars to invest in Canada, but the investor class has been stopped since 2014

You are probably looking at another governments website. Check the Canadian government website, like the one I posted above.

Start by going to www.cic.gc.ca
