Each year tens of thousands are refused entry to Canada, or have an application refused by Canadian immigration, due to criminal inadmissibility. Being criminally inadmissible to Canada means you are not allowed to enter the country for any reason, without special authorization from Canadian immigration (see Temporary Residence Permit). Criminal rehabilitation is an application process whereby a person requests absolution from the Government of Canada, for the purposes of Canadian immigration, for a particular crime(s) committed in a foreign country. The criminal rehabilitation process only applies to those who have committed offenses outside of Canada. For offenses committed in Canada, click here.

It's a time marked both by excitement and apprehension. I clearly remember the day I graduated and even though I was only 24, I have seen a common reaction in law graduates no matter what age.The greatest single benefit I had after graduation was my one-year articling term. Criminal lawyers are usually lone-wolves. Unlike civil litigators who practice in groups and firms, a criminal lawyer is typically a sole practitioner either practising alone or in a cost-sharing arrangement with other criminal lawyers who are also sole practitioners. This has its advantages and disadvantages. If you have an articling term in your jurisdiction, don't waste it. Do some research and send out resumes to criminal lawyers only, and only those who are practising as sole practitioners because they are the ones from whom you will have the maximum one-on-one attention. I learned a lot from my articling principle. I stuck to him like glue; went to court with him, stayed late when he did, got to the office early when he did. I learned not only how he practised criminal law, but also how he operated the business of the practice of law. After articling, there was the bar admission course (six months) during...more
