Hi all, I will be applying PR through the Permanent residence pathways for Hong Kong residents but the following issue extremely concerns me and make me unable to sleep for months, and I need your advices:
My mother was put in jail before 2010 (I forgot the exact year, not terrorism or drug related) in Hong Kong and had a criminal record. On the other hand, my spouse and I have NO criminal record, completely clean, and are planning to apply for PR after my study. I am now studying in Canada, with a valid study permit.
The following are my questions:
1. Given that I was granted a study permit, does it mean I am already admissible, for both study permit and PR application? Does PR use the same admissibility check as study permit application does?
2. When applying for PR, does IRCC asks for my mum's police certificate?
3. Does my mother's criminal record make me inadmissible when I apply for PR? Please tell me your reasons as well.
I have been thinking about this admissibility issue for months. My intuition tells me that I should be admissible, as when applying for PR, parents are not considered as family members (is this true?), and it does not make sense for IRCC to ask for my mum's police certificate, because it would also mean my other immediate relatives (father, sisters, brothers) need to hand in their police certificate too. If someone has a lot of sibling, this does not seem a possible approach for officer to process PR application.
If possible, please help answer my doubts. I need definite answers from you guys so that I can sleep! Thank you in advance!
