Is Donald Trump banned from entering Canada now that he is a convicted felon?

Donald Trump is not currently banned from Canada, but he could be if he tried to cross the border into Canada. While a criminal conviction can be a factor in determining whether someone is admissible to Canada, it does not automatically result in a ban. Canadian immigration authorities assess each case individually, considering factors such as the nature of the crime, the time that has passed since the conviction, and the individual's overall history.

As of now, Donald Trump has not been banned from Canada, and any potential decision regarding his admissibility would be made by Canadian immigration authorities based on their regulations and procedures.

Even so, Canada has an official policy of possibly banning convicted felons from entering Canada. Heck, drivers convicted of drinking and driving are banned. I think officially he will be banned. 

(Canada does have restrictions on allowing convicted felons to enter the country. Generally, individuals with a criminal record may be considered inadmissible to Canada. However, there are several factors that can influence this, such as the type and severity of the offense, the length of time since the offense occurred, and whether the individual has been rehabilitated.)

Some options for individuals with a criminal record to enter Canada include:

Temporary Resident Permit (TRP): This is a temporary solution that allows a person to enter Canada for a specific reason, despite being inadmissible.

Criminal Rehabilitation: A person can apply for criminal rehabilitation, which permanently resolves their inadmissibility if enough time has passed since the completion of their sentence.

Deemed Rehabilitation: In some cases, individuals may be deemed rehabilitated if enough time has passed since their conviction and the offense was not a serious crime.

Record Suspension (Pardon): If the offense was in Canada, obtaining a record suspension can help in certain circumstances.

It's important for individuals with a criminal record to consult with an immigration lawyer or a qualified professional to understand their options and the best course of action.

But Canada will probably make an exception (they shouldn't), if heaven-forbid he becomes president again.
