Original Note:
To render a foreign national inadmissible to Canada, a foreign conviction must be equivalent to a Canadian indictable offence. The NY offence of falsifying business records has no clear Canadian equivalent, with forgery applying to a much narrower set of actions. https://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/i-2.5/section-36.html https://www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/legal-policy/legal-concepts/Documents/RoaAmr08_e.pdf https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifying_business_records https://criminalnotebook.ca/index.php/Forgery_(Offence)
