Led by Annie Beaudoin, this in-depth course explores how IRCC officers assess criminal inadmissibility, rehabilitation applications, and Temporary Resident Permits (TRPs) under section 36 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). Participants will learn how to distinguish between serious and non-serious criminality, assess convictions inside and outside Canada, and determine when a client may be deemed rehabilitated. The session walks through every step of the rehabilitation application process, explains when to file a stand-alone versus combined application, and clarifies the differences between TRPs and rehabilitation requests. Attendees will also gain insight into criminal equivalency to the Canadian Criminal Code, relevant jurisprudence, and recent IRCC statistics and trends—providing a clear, practitioner-focused framework for managing criminal inadmissibility cases with accuracy and confidence.
