It will depend on what the disqualifications were for and whether the related to a driving conviction under federal law or provincial law in Canada.

Eg: if “not giving particulars” equates to failing to remain at the scene of an accident, that falls under the criminal code of Canada. You would likely be inadmissible in that situation.

I think it is under Highway Traffic Act – “Fail to remain or stop“.Not federal Criminal Code – “Failure to stop after accident”

Because I was charged in Australia under Regulation 287 the Road Rules,Not Section 146 of the Road Transport Act

But the visa officer can know about this law ? they can analyze the case ?

Thanks

You need to provide full details to IRCC and they will equate the convictions to Canada's laws to see if you are inadmissible or not.

That was only an example....why was your drivers license suspended in the first place when you were charged with driving while suspended?
