Hi just wanna give my 2 cents in. First if your police record from Italy says it's clean then it's clean if immigration contacts Italy it will be a clean record. If you mention the dui to immigration you will put yourself in problems because it's not in your history. You can apply Outland and be living inland it goes much faster.(personal experience) And people do get permany resident regardless if they have criminal record or not please don't listen to ridiculous people on this site. I was told that I could NOT file a sponsorship app outland while being inland without status although cic never mentioned that. But I did regardless and git through in less than 6 months . Just an example of how ppl on this site could feed you wrong info
No one said she won't ever get permanent residency through sponsorship because of her record. What was said is, as a visitor who has not been deemed rehabilitated, she has the risk of not being allowed into Canada and without being allowed into Canada as a visitor, she can't apply inland. To receive her PR, she will require rehabilitation because not enough time has passed. If you're suggesting that the person in question misrepresents the situation simply because the police check doesn't have anything written on it, then the things you are saying is what is ridiculous. There are background checks CIc could do that we don't even know about, which could turn up this information regardless of what is written on the police check paper.
Read the documents set forth for the CBSA officers. There are much stricter guides to follow of letting someone I to Canada as a visitor. The person in question isn't even in Canada at the moment. Dui falls under the category of inadmissible. She will need rehabilitation before she enters into Canada if it comes to light that she does in fact have a dui on her record, and not enough time has passed. The same would be true before PR is granted.
