Hey guys,
I have a question about the landing process,
When you asked to sign the COPR they ask you "Have you ever been charged/convicted of a crime or offence,refused admission to Canada or required to leave Canada"
So my question is, if I had two speeding tickets back when I was living in Canada, do I need to tell this to the immigration officer?
Does speeding ticket is a crime/offence?
Thanks!
Remember that - Speed thrill but kills!!!
Here you go - if your car has been caught by a Road-rule enforcement camera, and a speeding ticket has been sent to you by mail, the case is a civil one against assets “moving violation”, your car is assumed to be driven by any other driver including you, and the ticket contains 2 options, appeal or fine payment.
By paying that fine, no charges will be recorded, and nothing will be shown on your driving record.
However, if you have been pulled over by a patrol “police officer” due to over speeding, the ticket will target your name and your driving license, and point’s penalty will apply, also you will be recorded for that.
How deep will that affect your immigration criminal background check depends on whether you have been plead guilty “if you have challenged the ticket by attending court case for that purpose” and you’ve been found guilty.
The latter case will be recorded and shown in your criminal background checks.
Hope this is helpful.
