Hi guys
I am currently an international student in Winnipeg. The reason I contact you today is because I do have some questions to ask you about immigration law. Recently, I have been pulled over by the police two times and got several traffic tickets.

  • Stop Sign violation ( first time pulled over)
And the second time pulled over is:
  • Driving without supervisor
  • Driving without proof of insurance ( I had it but it was not under my name)
Even though I did not mean to break a law, there are some misunderstandings from my insurer regarding my license as I exchanged my license from my home country. My concern is that these tickets would make me inadmissible to Canada and I would not be allowed or eligible to apply for a work permit after graduation as well as affect my PR application later?

Thanks in advance
