One more thing... Dont leave any questions blank. If you don't know how to answer the question, just do your best and explain your answer on the cover letter to your criminal record.

Just tell the truth. They will do an RCMP check on you anyway. If you try to conceal anything from them, you will be rejected for misrepresentation. You will do well to acquire a full copy of any court documents pertaining to your case and send them in with your application. They will want...

Request a letter from that court stating that the records have been destroyed and submit the letter.

One thing more......Take Caution. I have been entering Canada by land because I live only a 10 hour drive away from my wife. I do not know how customs officials would react if I was a woman travelling by myself. Also, I have no experience with how I would be received at an airport customs...

I use my passport and I have no problems. I tell them that I am visiting my wife. I always plan to stay for a few weeks and usually end up staying a little longer. I don't know how they would react if I told them that I intended to visit for 6 months. That is the average length of the entire...

NOTE: To immigrate to Canada, you would be applying for "Permanent Residency" not citizenship. That comes later. The felony of course may or may not be considered an "indictable offense" in Canada. Immigration officers will determine if what you did in the U.S. would be considered a felony...

I had my photos done at wal-mart. no complaints so far.

This seems to be one of those situations where the truth can hurt you. He can't say that he was living with you in Canada because that is illegal. He can't claim that he was just visiting you for an extended period of time either because he has no place of residence to claim in the States from...

Feel better now? I think your 'fed up" meter is getting a little high,hey??
