The following excerpt is from Ngo v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2005 FC 609 (CanLII):
More specifically, in the case of subsection 36(1), which provides that a foreign national is inadmissible to Canada on grounds of serious criminality, the applicable threshold is the seriousness of the crime according to the Canadian standard: Brannson v.

The decision-maker essentially has to appreciate the perceived gravity of the offence the person is alleged to have committed from a Canadian point of view.
