Can I immigrate to Australia after seven months in prison for gambling?

Generally speaking, it is difficult to get exemption when applying for immigration to Australia, because you have a criminal record in the past five years.

Although the prison term is less than one year, unless there is a legitimate reason to convince the immigration officer, the visa will be refused by Australia because it cannot issue a certificate of no criminal record and has moral problems.

In last year's refugee crisis, in order to ensure national security, Australia even sent many people with criminal records such as drunk driving to safety islands.

So it's actually very difficult and hopeless.
