Inadmissibility

What It Entails

Some people aren’t allowed to come to Canada. They’re “inadmissible” under Canada’s immigration law.
A Canadian immigration officer will decide if you can enter Canada when you:

• apply for a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or

• when you arrive at a port of entry.

There are different reasons we may not let you into Canada, such as security, criminal or medical reasons.
