s. 467.13 Instructing Commission of Offence for Criminal Organization

This crime is committed by a member of a criminal organization who tells anyone to commit an offence for the group. It is indictable and can bring a life sentence. A conviction counts as serious criminality under IRPA s.36(1), and it also brings in a second ground, organized criminality under IRPA s.37. Few offences weigh more for immigration. Time alone clears neither ground. The route is a record suspension for a conviction in Canada (s.36(3)(b)), or an application to be found rehabilitated for one outside Canada (s.36(3)(c)). For the s.37 ground, a foreign national can apply to the Minister for relief under s.42.1.

This is how the law sorts the offence, not a reading of any one record. An officer decides each case.
