Congratulations!
Did he ever submit an application for Rehabilitation, with the `for information only' box checked?

Since his 10 year anniversary date for his conviction will be April 5, 2015 (10 years after the end of his sentence)...it's possible that he would not be deemed rehabilitated, but ONLY if his crime equates to an indictable offence in Canada. The $64k question is...does it?
Yes, we did submit the Application for Rehabilitation with the For Info Only box checked. At the same time we submitted our PR. We sent a copy of this Application along WITH the PR application and a letter explaining the situation.
This is why Etobicoke sent CPC-M that email, saying they have the Application for Rehabilitation with the For Info Only box checked, and they are wondering if CPC-M would like the Application for Rehabilitation with the For Info Only box checked forwarded to them in Mississauga, or if CPC-M will transfer our file to Etobicoke.
I am hoping since Etobicoke offered CPC-M that option, it must mean that it doesn't HAVE to go there, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Do you know Ponga? Since I got my email that I am approved as a Sponsor, does that mean that he is for sure going to get his OWP??
