There is a path for Donald Trump to enter Canada, it is called a Temporary Resident Permit.
Permits are granted at the discretion of the Minister, to someone who demonstrates that their entry is justified in the circumstances, Trump obviously saying that a leader of the free world meeting for a G7 meeting is justification in the circumstances.
PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW. We must tell the Minister of Immigration that if it is justified for Trump, it is justified for everyone with a same-level felony, and Canada should not be admitting Trump just because he claims it is justified.
Trump can send Vance instead or he can participate by Zoom. Send an email to:
Honourable Lena Diab

Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) Applications
A temporary resident permit may be issued to individuals who would otherwise be inadmissible to Canada because they were convicted of a crime, permitting them to enter or stay in the country, where justified by compelling circumstances.
A Canadian TRP grants legal entry to Canada for a certain period and can be applied for at any point. Unlike criminal rehabilitation, a TRP is not subject to a certain time frame in relation to the completion of the sentence, meaning that an individual can be granted a TRP while still serving a portion of his or her sentence, in certain circumstances.
For individuals who have been convicted of a serious offence, such as a felony, the odds of obtaining a TRP can be significantly less, especially while still serving a sentence.
