Can a us felon move to canada

Asked by cornballwizard 4 months ago, 3 answers.

What is the first step an ex convict has to make to move to Canada legally. I am a Canadian citizen and my US boyfriend just got out of prison in ID. We want to get married and live in Canada. I can't go to the US to marrry him because I've been deported...

for life from the US. If there is a legal way I'd really like to know. I've been waiting for him for 5 years now. Thanks you...jc

No felon is allowed to enter Canada - not even for something as small as a misdemeanor...he absolutely won't be granted citizenship.

You can try to have his record cleared, but if the charge is still fairly new, there's really no hope for that.

I am trying to learn the laws of Canada as well I currently live in Colorado. And am looking to move to Canada to be with my Fiance. I think your best bet is to let him come to Canada to marrie you then you wait about a year and can come back to the U.S. how long are you deported for?

I'm deported for life, so there's no chance of moving to the US for me. I don't want to give up hope, but from the answers I got it looks hopeless. Thank you everyone that answered.
