Hello,

I have been in Canada for 5 years right now. I will finish my engineering degree in December 2019.
I was convicted for stunt driving running 152km in 100km zone, and I had already one ticket one my record running 120 in 100km zone.

Now, I am not qualify to apply PGWP (6 months left to be qualified), but I am really concerning that it affect my PGWP process. I did research about that and most of people said 'that is not criminal offence', however the other people also said 'blue ticket' and 'red ticket' I do not know what differences are.

Will my speeding ticket affect my future PGWP and PR processing?

Thank you.

While it was idiotic, no, it is not a criminal conviction that would render you unable to get a PGWP.
