What can I do if I want to come to Canada but do not qualify for rehabilitation?

You may be able to receive a temporary resident permit, if you can show that:

• your reason to travel to Canada is justified in the circumstances; and
• you do not pose a risk because of your inadmissibility.

This permit would allow you to enter or stay temporarily in Canada.

For more information, see Temporary resident permits.
