This paper by Will Tao and Karina Juma, written for the 2024 CLEBC Immigration Issues in Depth Conference, reviews the 2024 Federal Court Immigration Case Law (excluding cases from the Immigration and Refugee Board). It presents five case studies: Li, Henry-Okoisama, Matharu, Mamut, and Mehrara.
Heron Law’s Will Tao shared insights with CityNews on the challenges American Taylor Swift fans with DUI convictions may face at the Canadian border. Tao explained that DUI offences, reclassified as “serious criminality” in 2019, are assessed on a case-by-case basis. While older convictions might qualify for deemed rehabilitation, recent cases face stricter scrutiny. Those denied entry can apply for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) but must prepare thorough documentation. Tao emphasized the importance of preparation to navigate these processes effectively.
With thousands of Taylor Swift fans (“Swifties”) set to visit Vancouver this weekend for the final shows of The Eras Tour, a recurring question is: will those with a DUI or other criminal conviction(s) be allowed into Canada?
