Standard · Inadmissibility
One DUI can block you. A decade-old misdemeanor might already be cleared. This kit tells you which category your record falls into, how much time has to pass for deemed rehabilitation, when to apply for criminal rehabilitation, and when a Temporary Resident Permit is the only option.
Designed for applicants with a past criminal record who seek temporary or permanent entry to Canada, this Standard edition of the Immigration Action Kit walks you through inadmissibility, rehabilitation, and the Temporary Residence Permit (TRP). The guide offers practical, step-by-step instructions, references to official forms, a fictional filled application you can adapt, and a quick-start checklist you can use from day one.
What you get inside:
– Step-by-step process: from initial assessment and document gathering to filing and follow-up with IRCC.
– Official forms reference: names, numbers, where to find them, and common errors to avoid.
– Example filled application (fictional): a ready-to-model case you can mirror for your own submission.
– Quick-start checklist: a practical, week-by-week plan to organize documents, timelines, and deadlines.
Why this saves time:
– It converts guesswork into a clear workflow.
– You’ll know which evidence matters most for inadmissibility, rehabilitation, and TRP.
– The included filled example shows how to present mitigating factors, reference letters, and police documentation in a coherent package.
– Direct form references help you locate and complete documents quickly, reducing back-and-forth with authorities.
What you can do after reading:
– Assess your admissibility path (temporary vs permanent) and choose a strategy.
– Prepare a tailored plan and timeline, and draft your letter of explanation.
– Gather evidence of rehabilitation and mitigating factors, with a ready-to-use checklist.
– Begin your official submission with confidence, using the example and template as baselines.

DUI is treated as serious criminality in Canada. Uses the deemed-rehab clock check and the decision on whether to apply or wait.
Three-week notice. Uses the TRP fast-track section and the justification-letter template for urgent entry.
