  • Seems like 1950. Here’s a excerpt from the Wikipedia article

    Critics of the commission have pointed out it’s many failings. In a 1989 article for the Ottawa Citizen, writer Sol Littman explained, the All-Party Parliamentary War Crimes Group of the British House of Commons found that screening was virtually “non-existent” for Ukrainian SS veterans who entered Canada in 1950. The SS veterans had been allowed into Canada from the U.K. based on false assurances that they were not war criminals. The Foreign Office lied to British parliament in 1947, that the SS volunteers had undergone “a very exhaustive screening process.” In a 1997 interview with 60 Minutes, Irving Abella stated that getting into Canada for SS members, was as easy as just showing their SS blood type tattoo which indicated that they were reliably anti-communist.
