Can my landlord enter my apartment without my permission?

No. You have a right to privacy; the landlord needs your consent and must give reasonable advance notice, except for genuine emergencies or essential agreed maintenance. Entering without permission can breach privacy law and even be treated as a criminal matter. If it keeps happening, document it and file at the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre. (Exact notice period varies by contract - verify.)
