I am a PR, while I am totally clean before getting PR, now I am convicted outside Canada by a tax evasion with a fine around CAD 10,000. However, no jail time.
The criminal record is forgetting to file tax return, but with owed tax for 2 years.
I need to stress that I voluntarily disclosed my tax matter to the local authority but no use. This is my first criminal record in my life and I have filed tax return while in Canada for three years out of three years.
I googled it, that tax evasion can be inadmissible for Canada. But I wonder if this refers to the case where tax evasion is so serious that it becomes indictable. In Canada, tax evasion is usually summary offence. Because I voluntarily disclosed my tax matter, in Canada it should be viewed as summary offence where a PR status might not be revoked.
What do you think or suggest? (I am still abroad, not sure if I should go back to Canada due to potential inadmissibilty)
