Denied Entry Immigration Concerns

Ask Your Question For Free

Summary

UK immigration laws differ from Canadas. Disclose any convictions on your visa application, show proof of rehabilitation, and apply for a visa even if from a visa-exempt country. Convictions for drug trafficking can impact entry, but if over 20 years have passed, it may be spent and less likely to affect your application. Countries share immigration information under mutual agreements, but the UK will make its decision based on its own laws. Consult an immigration lawyer for tailored advice.

Hello ****, UK immigration laws are different from Canada's. They rely on their own checks and criteria. You might need to:
- Disclose any convictions on your visa application
- Show proof of rehabilitation
- Apply for a visa even if you're from a visa-exempt country
Do you have a specific conviction you're concerned about?
Trafficking in marijuana
Hello ****, for the UK:
- Convictions for supply or trafficking drugs can impact your ability to enter
- It's essential to disclose this on your visa application
- If over 20 years have passed since your conviction, it may be 'spent' and less likely to affect your application.
Please consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your situation.
Does Canada tell the UK about people they deny entry to
Hello ****,
- Generally, countries share immigration information under mutual agreements.
- However, it doesn't mean UK will automatically deny you entry based on Canada's decision.
- UK will make its decision based on its immigration laws and your visa application.
I recommend seeking advice from an immigration lawyer.
