Certificate in Inadmissibility to Canada Overview
The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) has, as one of its objectives, the protection of Canadian society from persons who pose a danger to that society, who engage in activities that violate international human rights, who might impose a heavy burden on the country’s social services, who have failed to comply with immigration law or who have provided false information to immigration authorities.
Any of the above persons are inadmissible as temporary or permanent residents unless they obtain an exemption to overcome their inadmissibility. This course covers inadmissibility categories in great detail affording the student an opportunity to become very proficient in this area of Canadian Immigration Law. Emphasis is placed on both the applicable legislation and the case law.
To further enhance your expertise in this industry, we suggest you visit our Immigration Practitioner Centre for additional CPD opportunities.
