Security means safety, as well as the measures taken to be safe or protected and inadmissibility to Canada is an immigration issue that essentially means that a person is barred from entering the country. 

 

There are different causes for security inadmissibility, most having to do with criminal history. In simple words, if a person has been convicted of, or committed a crime in their home country, and that crime has an equivalent under Canadian law, the person may be considered inadmissible to Canada due to criminality. The other scenario is being a danger to Canada by engaging in acts of violence that would or might endanger the lives or safety of persons in Canada.

 

Example of Security Inadmissibility to Canada are on the grounds of espionage, subversion, violence or terrorism, membership in an organization involved in any of these in the past, present or future that would be contrary to Canada’s interests. 

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is vigilant in determining the admissibility of individuals by verifying identification and checking for violations of Canadian law. The CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) screens all visitors, immigrants, and refugee claimants to keep Canada safe and secure. Inadmissible persons such as criminals or persons considered security risks are not allowed to enter or remain in Canada by following all security measures.

 

CBSA works with Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), as well as foreign and Canadian law enforcement agencies to screen all individuals entering Canada. CBSA performs different checks like Background check, Danger opinion, irregular migration, and document integrity check on anyone 18 years of age or over who applies for immigration or Claims refugee status after coming to Canada to check the security inadmissibility.
