Before jumping the gun and spouting hate, please read.
Around 2001 to 2002 when I was about 20 years old, I had girlfriend who unknowing to me, was under the legal age for my state. I was 20 or 21 back then, she lied about her age, saying she was 16, but she was really 14.
We had consensual *censored word* during our relationship, an ex boyfriend of hers reported it to the police. During the trial she explained that she willingly had *censored word* with me (which doesn't matter in my country, it breaks the law)
Since I live on the state line, I was charged in 2 states under different charges for the same girl.
That has been over 8 years ago, I'm required to still register as a low level *censored word* offender, I did no jail time for the incident.
Its my understanding that in Canada up until 2008 the legal age of consent was 14 years old, making what happened with me in the usa not against any laws in Canada during that time.
I am told that a IMM 5312 will need to be filed, listed here, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5312E.asp
But my question is, if what happened with me was not against any laws in Canada during that time , will they still reject me from coming to Canada?
Also , one would assume since the law changed from 14 to 16 in 2008, that canada did not go back and arrest everyone that had consensual *censored word* at 14 or 15 , correct? So with that being the case, they would also have no reason to apply current laws to my background , if they compared laws from their country to my issues, it would have been legal at that time?
So any info other than hate speech would be appreciated, thanks
