The most stringent new regulation in Canadian history 12 came into effect.

Recently, there is a news that it is estimated to explode the circle of friends! That's another country where marijuana is legal all over the world, and that's Canada. Does this mean that China people can smoke marijuana in Canada? In fact, the new regulations will come soon, especially affecting China people. Let's have a look.

1, illegal possession of marijuana is a crime.

Marijuana is legalized in Canada, and the federal government has introduced stricter regulations on marijuana-related crimes. The federal government reminds new immigrants that drug driving and marijuana-related crimes may lead to the repatriation of temporary or permanent residents of Canada. At present, according to the Cannabis Act, illegally manufacturing, selling or carrying marijuana out of Canada will face a maximum of 14 years imprisonment.

Providing marijuana to people under the age of 18, and using minors to manufacture and sell marijuana will also face imprisonment of up to 14 years. According to the immigration law, foreigners who commit the following two violations will be ruled not to enter Canada:

Upon conviction in Canada, the crime can be sentenced to imprisonment of up to 10 years or longer.

If you have been convicted or committed a crime outside Canada, if the crime occurred in Canada, you can be sentenced to 10 years or longer in prison according to Canadian law.

2. Bill C-46 will come into effect.

After the legalization of marijuana, the Canadian government paid unprecedented attention to drunk driving and drug driving.

The maximum sentence has also been raised from 5 years to 10 years, making it a "felony". 65438+February 18, the new edition of the impaired driving regulations will come into effect. Once convicted, the maximum penalty will be changed from 5 years imprisonment to 10 years imprisonment.

From 65438+February 18, the controversial C-46 drunk driving and drug driving bill will come into effect.

Foreign students, tourists and other foreign residents, even permanent residents, need special attention, because they may be expelled from Canada if they accidentally break the law! The C-46 Act increased the punishment for unconscious driving, including not only drunk driving, but also drug driving.

This also means that permanent residents who drive after drinking or taking drugs may lose their maple leaf cards. If international students, temporary residents and refugees do this, they may be deported!

Permanent residents drink and drive or lose their identity.

According to the law, permanent residents and non-citizens (international students, tourists, etc. As long as you are convicted of a "felony", you will be disqualified and repatriated directly.

Therefore, if you are not a Canadian citizen (holding a Canadian passport), even if you are convicted for the first time, the international students and PR will not only be fined, but also lose their immigration status and be expelled from Canada directly.

Therefore, this bill is also known as the "repatriation bill".

In addition, permanent residents will lose their Canadian status wherever they are arrested for drunk driving.

If you are convicted in Canada and your sentence is less than 6 months, you have the right to appeal to the Court of Appeal (IAD). If the sentence reaches or exceeds six months, he will be disqualified from appealing.

For applicants who are waiting for immigration status, according to the current immigration regulations, immigrants must live for 3 years within 5 years of naturalization; To retain your resident status, you must have lived for two years within five years.

Once drunk driving is imprisoned, the sentence is not counted as living in Canada, and naturalization detention will become quite troublesome.

3. Be stricter with international students

If international students drive after drinking or taking drugs in Canada, they will face more severe punishment. They will be deported, apply for a temporary residence permit or suspend their permanent records. Suspending records means that a person's criminal record can only remain in Canada after being deleted from the database of the Canadian Police Information Center (CPIC).

If an international student is convicted abroad, he/she must apply for a temporary residence permit or prove that he/she has reformed after serving five years in prison before entering Canada. In addition, the Immigration Bureau said in a statement that "these new penalties may have a great impact on permanent and temporary residents."

Driving after drinking or taking drugs will be severely punished.

Canadian police are also cracking down on illegal driving on the road. Now, the police can stop the car for no reason and give you an alcohol test.

According to the Canadian government, the police may ask to check the following:

1. Provide breath samples on roadside screening equipment.

2. Provide oral liquid samples on roadside drug screening equipment.

3. Conduct standardized on-site sobriety test.
