Apparently someone at CP24 (a cable news station which used to be local 
to Toronto but now seems to be national) got to wondering if Trump would 
have any obstacles in coming to Canada as a convicted felon and asked 
around. He's expected to come to the G7 meeting in Alberta next month.

In a nutshell, felons are NOT normally allowed into Canada but there is 
an exception for people travelling under a diplomatic passport.

However, once he is no longer president and is travelling under a normal 
passport, he will likely be barred from entering the country.

This seems like a plausible answer to the question. Nelson Mandela spent 
27 years in prison for crimes he admitted during his trial yet I seem to 
recall he made a visit here as President of South Africa. I don't know 
if he ever visited privately after his presidency; I don't recall any 
such visit.
