轻罪复原Criminal Rehabilitation
有刑事犯罪记录的申请人,根据所犯的罪行、犯罪时间的长短以及此后的行为仍可能申请加拿大永居居民、访问签证、学习许可、工作许可等进入加拿大。申请人需要申请轻罪复原,或服刑期已过去足够长时间,加拿大移民官确认申请人已改过自新方可批准其申请。
根据加拿大的移民法,如果您曾经犯罪或被定罪,可能无法入境加拿大。换句话说,您可能会被认为是“有罪不予入境者”。
根据犯罪的性质、犯罪时间以及自犯罪以来的表现,您仍然可能被允许来加拿大,如果您:
- 能说服移民官,认为您已经符合法律条款被认为可以复原,或者
- 申请复原并获得了批准
根据以下条件,您可能被认为已经复原:
- 犯罪的性质
- 自完成刑期以来已经过去的时间
- 是否犯过一次以上罪行。
不管什么情况下,如果罪行是在加拿大以外国家或地区所犯,并且该罪行在加拿大法律下最高服刑期低于10年时,才可能会被认为可复原。
要申请复原,您必须:
- 证明符合所有条件,
- 已经被复原,并且
- 极不可能再犯罪。
此外,自下列日期后,必须已经过去至少五年:
- 您的刑期已结束(包括缓刑),以及
- 您犯下使您不予入境行为的那天。
Under Canada’s immigration law, if you have committed or been convicted of a crime, you may not be allowed into Canada. In other words, you may be “criminally inadmissible.”
Depending on the crime, how long ago it was and how you have behaved since, you may still be allowed to come to Canada, if you:
- convince an immigration officer that you meet the legal terms to be deemed rehabilitated, or
- applied for rehabilitation and were approved
You may be deemed rehabilitated depending on:
- the crime,
- if enough time has passed since you finished serving the sentence for the crime and
- if you have committed more than one crime.
In all cases, you may only be deemed rehabilitated if the crime committed outside Canada has a maximum prison term of less than 10 years if committed in Canada.
To apply, you must:
- show that you meet the criteria,
- have been rehabilitated and
- be highly unlikely to take part in further crimes.
Also, at least five years must have passed since:
- the end of your criminal sentence (this includes probation) and
- the day you committed the act that made you inadmissible.
