Have Canadian immigration officials deemed you inadmissible to Canada? You can be deemed inadmissible on the grounds of Organized Criminality if you are linked to a group or organization involved in organized crime.

Organized crime is an enterprise of criminals at the local, national, or international level who engage in illegal criminal activities.

Inadmissibility on the grounds of Organized Criminality occurs if there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that an individual is involved in organized crime.

Who is Deemed to be Inadmissible for Organized Criminality?

You could be deemed inadmissible based on Organized Criminality, if:

There is evidence that supports the claim of your involvement in organized crime in Canada.

Your offense is punishable under an act of Parliament, or you have committed an offense outside Canada that would be considered a part of organized crime.

You are involved in transnational (in our outside of Canada) criminal activity such as drug smuggling, human trafficking, money laundering, and other crimes.

How Can Inadmissibility Because of Organized Criminality Be Overcome?

If you are inadmissible because you are a member of an organized crime group, then you could be eligible to apply for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP).

A TRP allows you to enter Canada if you are otherwise inadmissible. However, your reason to remain in Canada must outweigh the risk of allowing you to enter.

If your only involvement in organized crime was that you entered Canada with the help of a member of an organized crime group, then you will not be deemed inadmissible. This happens in the cases of transnational criminal activity.

My Visa Source made the process of my partner’s PR a breeze. We did run into an issue in the beginning as my partner initially started his PR progress with the intent of going through his work to get his PR. There were some difficulties that ended up leading us into doing his PR through common-law sponsorship, which ended up being a blessing in disguise as we were appointed a new Lawyer & team.

Harley Jensen was very much on top of everything from quick replies to our emails and if we ran into any difficulties she would always set up a phone call to ease us through the process. There was another lovely lawyer by the name Natasha who was also helping us through some difficulties.

Overall My Visa Source made us feel confident and at ease during this very stressful process. We would like to thank the team for all their hard work. I would definitely recommend them.

Sharing my experience with MVS. This firm has truly reliable and dependable professionals, no wonder it has won so many awards and accolades. After my initial spouse work permit rejection, I approached MVS and I was assured they’d handle my case sensitively. Bara was very calm and informative, he initiated my process. My wife’s permit case was assigned to Sharon and Marc. ‘Sharon’ is very knowledgeable and precise, she was always reachable and was prompt on her responses during the process. Her follow ups on every step was phenomenal. Such a gem! I blindly recommend her.

Marc on the other hand was the heart of the process, shout out to him as well..
All my stress was washed out as every actions performed by them was promising. I was optimistic and finally received the permits, now I can reunite with my family in coming days.

Couldn’t praise enough. Wish you best to unite and bring happiness to more families like ours.
I wish to personally meet you all one day to thank for what you’ve done. You’ve changed my life.

I've had a very bad experience with an immigration lawyer at another firm in the past, and I was very scare to experience that again. I found My Visa Source online and decided to give them a try because of their great reviews, and I don't regret it for a second!. Amazing experience, they really treated me like a human being and were very upfront and organized with all information.

Angel Pavlou is really an angel, very sweet and helpful, she help us a lot on our first stage of the process with the firm. She is an amazing human being!

Because we were applying through common-in-law sponsorship, my team was Harley and Natasha, an amazing team! We worked for about 4-5 month on the file to make sure everything needed was there. And even though they usually respond within 2-3 business days, by the last portion before submission, our emails were responded by the minute, which we really appreciate as it helped to speed up the process significantly.

Even though our contract with the firm ended with the submission of our application, they left the door open for further questions we may have about what's coming next with our application, which is a big support for us, and we really appreciate (as now we have a long road ahead before a final answer from IRCC comes).

Thanks Team! :)

At first I was a bit wary because we had some challenges with our spousal sponsorship case and all correspondence was done over the phone or email, but now that my husband has been approved, I can say with confidence I would hire My Visa Source again for any immigration needs. My husband was not even asked for an interview in the end. This firm works many different nationalities and passport holders and there experience is vast.

After previously going to another immigration service it became glaringly obvious how great this service was. Angel was able to answer all my questions and share with me some options that I had not been told of by the other lawyer. I highly recommend this service.

This was a free consult call. I received the call exactly at the time arranged. Irfhan was very helpful, honest and informative. Unfortunately there weren’t many options for my case and he made no false promises. His integrity was impeccable and even though there wasn’t much that could be done he did offer some great suggestions and advice.
