Yes, you can apply for Canadian citizenship after completing your probation and driving prohibition, but your chances of approval depend on the full details of your criminal record and whether you meet all other requirements, such as residency. As for sponsoring your spouse for permanent residency, you can do so as long as you're eligible to sponsor and aren't under any serious criminal restrictions. Regarding travel, you can leave and re-enter Canada as a permanent resident, but be mindful of residency requirements for citizenship, ensuring you meet the necessary time spent in the country.

Hey, I understand your situation. Here’s what I know:

1. Citizenship: Having a past offense like DUI (even reduced to dangerous driving) can impact your citizenship application. However, since you’ve completed your probation and driving prohibition, it shows you’ve followed the legal process. You can apply, but the decision will depend on several factors, including how long it's been since the offense and whether you've maintained good conduct since then. It's always a good idea to consult an immigration lawyer for specific advice based on your case.
2. Sponsoring your spouse: Yes, you can sponsor your spouse for PR, but the process could be impacted by your past criminal history. Immigration authorities will assess your entire background, but as long as your probation is complete and you’re in good standing, it shouldn’t prevent you.
3. Traveling before citizenship: If you’re a permanent resident, you can travel outside Canada and return. However, make sure to check any conditions on your PR status before doing so. If you're not yet a citizen, ensure your PR status is maintained and valid for re-entry.

Hope this helps, and it’s always a good idea to check with legal or immigration experts for personalized guidance!
