Hi, My husband has a criminal conviction for Fraud but it is deemed spent by the UK government because of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act of 1974. With the conviction being deemed spent, is my husband deemed by CIC admissible to Canada and can he apply for permanent residency without having to also submit an application for criminal rehabilitation? Your help is much appreciated.

How the UK views the conviction is irrelevant to CIC. It is matched with the equivalent offense and conviction in Canada, and it's on that basis that you need to work regarding rehabilitation.
 
It will still be on his police check . It will come up "no live trace" i would get all the court papers together and send them in with your application.Explain what happened and how long ago it was etc etc.. I personally wouldn't go for rehabilitation with that time frame, saying that has all fines been paid and all time served . Any community service required that has been completed .

The OP hasn't stated when her husband was convicted.

You would still have to do a rehab and pay the fee checking off for info purposed only .once ten years pass. He would be deem rehabilated. As long as it shows on his rap sheet print out. Do get legal help for this. I paid lots of money and still waiting for five years. No decision as yet
 
Then all of my advice is now void and incorrect ...

Sorry for not clarifying, it was 6 years ago.

You will have to do rehab letter and pay the full $1000 for criminal charges. Suggest a lawyer . After five years past . Still no gaurantees on succesfull . His meds will expires .sorry u did them so early as I was misguided as well . Was he deported? U will need an arc also $400. Be ready to wait like me for five years. Now I see decision made and no meds redone yet so not sure which way it went.
