Conjugal partner background check

[jadedja]

I'm looking for sponsor my conjugal partner into the family class for permanent residence. However, my partner was in South Korea as a tourist but overstayed by 2 weeks, got into a fight with a local, jailed, then deported. This was also 4 years ago, just shy of the 5 year mark which seems to negate (if any) inadmissibility arising from this. I don't know if there was ever a conviction or not

Since immigration Canada is asking for only police records of their home country, will they know of the deportation and jailing in South Korea as a tourist? The criminal record of the home country will be completely clean.

Others will comment as well but not advisable to ever conceal anything from immigration given the penalty for not sharing information given if found out later can have a severe effect on any application, even a ban. So it is not a question of whether immigration will know or not up front it is just about being honest anything else could be considered misrepresentation. The choice is yours especially given conjugal applications possibly get a lot more detailed scrutiny .

The above is a personal view by the way so maybe you need to seek professional advice on the consequences of not declaring.

It's not advice to lie to immigration. Not declaring a conviction. (If he is jailed, it's possible that that was a conviction.)
Other than the criminal record (as document), there are sections in the application that asked if applicant commit and convicted any crime. (or was every arrested) If you answer NO but knowing that he did, this is misrepresentation and could rest in deportation and band from Canada for 10 years.
