'''NOTE:''' '''A permanent resident sentenced to 6 months or more of incarceration''' (including time in custody awaiting trial) is inadmissible to Canada and '''does not have an appeal to the IAD''' of their removal.

A conditional sentence does not equal imprisonment for the purposes of this provision and sentencing must be considered at the time of conviction (see [https://www.canlii.org/en/ca/scc/doc/2017/2017scc50/2017scc50.html?autocompleteStr=Tran%20v%20Canada%20(Public%20Safety%20and%20Emergency%20Preparedness)%2C%202017%20SCC%2050&autocompletePos=1 Tran v Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness), 2017 SCC 50]).
