Charged with Domestic assault In middle of PR process

[sweetyvenky1]

Hi everyone

I applied for Canadian PR under Provincial Nominee program in june 5015.....I got my Medical Request now.....

In January 2016, I have been charged of domestic assault...it is in court...I have been charged but I am still not proven Guilty by the court

Now wht will happen to the application will application be cancellled now itself or will cic put on hold untill I am proven guilty or will they process the application ....

I had written a letter to cic explaing about the domestic assault and it still in court...

my neighbours called police saying that they heard hitting sounds from my room... whn police came since my wife cant speak english...she was afraid of police and did not know how to speak she told them that i holded her hand but the police misunderstood and thought that I twisted her hand and police charged with domestic assault....now the case is in court.....

Now I am worried what will happen to my application...thanks

Well, according to the law in case you will be proven guilty and convicted. Then you become criminally inadmissible to Canada.

In theory this is a serious change in circumstances, however, at what stage you need to notify CIC is a question.

I would suggest talking to a professional about it, as it can lead to a serious issues in a long term.
