Hello & Thank you in advance for helping!
My husband has been working for an American subsidiary of a Canadian company for the last 6 years. The U.S. division is wantting to transfer him to Canada. But I have a DUI from 2009 (first offense) but my obligations from this offense did not end until 2011. I am terrified that we will not be able to go. From the information I have read on the CIC site, it appeasrs that the only way I can even visit would be to apply for a temporary resident permit. >>> I know temporary resident permits cover "extenuating circumstances" .... But I am soooo scared and nervous about this one & I can't talk to anyone at a consulate as they do not accept calls & the nearest consulate that is open to the public is 18 hours away
My questions are
1. Has anyone ever had this happen, or heard of this happening, & what the outcome was?
2. I am unsure if my husband has to apply as well in order for me to apply for a TRP, If I need a passport also to apply? Just unclear as to what all applications I need to submit in order to make sure I have everything I need. The CIC site has a checklist, but I am just unsure if my husband has to submit an application & if so which ones and supporting documents. I was totalling up the applications I "think" we need and it totalled C$1,850.00 I am so nervous to spend that and not have a complete application or if if is "hopeless"
Please help! Thank you so much!
