I make no excuses: I’m not a Donald Trump fan. When he was convicted earlier this year of 34 felony counts related to hush money payments to a porn star, I was relieved that he’d probably never be able to set foot in Canada due to his criminal record. Our immigration laws stop convicted felons from entering the country.
But — as always, it seems, for Trump — rules are apparently made to be broken. Today in The Conversation Canada, Catherine Dauvergne of the University of British Columbia writes that exceptions can easily be made for Trump by federal ministers that would give him the green light to travel to Canada.
She writes: “Canadian immigration law allows for exceptions to criminal inadmissibility on humanitarian and compassionate grounds or for public policy reasons … meaning Trump can travel to Canada if the Canadian government chooses to admit him.”

Anyone convicted of criminal offences is inadmissible for entry into Canada. But this simple rule may not prevail in the case of Donald Trump.
