Can I immigrate to Canada with a criminal record?

Immigration Canada will require all applicants to provide a certificate of no criminal record issued by the police

People with criminal records must wait for the "opposite pardon" before they can apply.

"Washing the bottom" is a common expression in Chinese, and the official name in English is Record suspension, which means that a person who has been convicted of a criminal offence, after satisfying all the sentences (including imprisonment, compensation and fines), keeps the law and order for several years in order to apply for judicial tolerance and keep his criminal record separately from other records.

Generally speaking, it takes at least five years to wait from conviction, and the waiting period for serious crimes can be as long as 10 year. Then you have to fill out a series of forms to apply, and the procedure is very complicated.

When applying for immigration, if the proof is not clearly recorded, it is generally not necessary to indicate it in the immigration application materials. If there is a record of being sued, whether this situation should be explained to the immigration officer in the application materials requires a case study.

The parties concerned shall properly keep all relevant documents, including documents such as being sued, appearing in court, and court decisions. Even if you are not convicted or even prosecuted, you should keep all relevant documents, including the time, place and process of the incident, so that you can tell the truth when you apply for immigration in the future.
