Dear Paris ,
I really hope you could help me with this matter i have been looking everywhere for some information about my case and no luck. I hope you can spare a few minutes of your time to help me with this ..
I will be applying for Quebec immigration ,a friend of mine told me that because both my spouse and i are fluent in french and English ,have a degree, under 35, and kids ,brother living there also i would have a better chance of being selected there.
The problem i have is with my spouse ,he was arrested in oct 2001 for aggravated assault charges reduce to simple assault and reckless conduct ( same incident ) no injury to no one and put on a deferral of judgement or adjudication( kind of conditional discharge) .He was not convicted and discharge without court adjudication of guilt, the guilty plea was set aside ( this discharge under the law of the state exonorate the person of any guilt) it was not a suspended sentence ,no conviction was entered during the time of deferral .My main concern is if i will need to apply for any rehab application for him probation was done in july 2002 .I saw on the ENF2 manual that deferral of judgement in the US is NOT a conviction for canadian immigration ..and that they are ways when the " commiting an act provision" would not apply and it seem to me that we fall under the that exception but i want to be sure before i send my application.Can you please tell me if i understand it right ? Also how do i answer the questions on the application? Thanks a lot .
