Charged for shoplifting

[Rpa567]

I am an international student. I am charged with theft under $5000, forshoplifting something for $ 17. My lawyer is very confident that my charges will be withdrawn and I will get diversion. I have to apply for pgwp in January. Will these withdrawn charges affect my pgwp? Is there any chance I can get my post graduate work permit?

Why dis you stole?

 

[Rpa567]

I don't know why did I do this, it was an impulsive reaction. I'm extremely remorseful for this

This could a problem, when you apply for pgwp just be honest and dont lie on your application about being arrested.
you might still get the pgwp, dont steal ever again.

 

[Rpa567]

Yes, I won't do this ever again
I've learnt my lesson

 

[ahmed5]

Did they formally arrest you ? I mean if you were caught inside the premises of shop you cannot be charged.

Hi Bhee,

you can consult Arif Hussain( Scarborough).. that's okay it was a mistake. Make sure to get the charges withdrawn.. and make sure to mention on your documents what happened. FYI - Govt knows everything and they just require honesty from you. Don't worry ..you have learnt the lesson .. have a great successful life!

So did you say 'yes' in the form which asks "Were you charged, convicted for an offense?"
