Press Charge In Montreal

[JMOBhatti]

Hi there,

May I have your guidance to know the procedure about press charges in Montreal, Canada?

I was hit by my room mate who was hyper and aggressive. He raised his voice over me and also used abusive words. I called the police but police officer just warned him that if he repeat, they will hand cuff him and put in to detention. The alleged person admitted in front of police that he hurt me physically and feel sorry for that.

Being new here, I want to know that is it the way they you can punch some one, insult him and after words say sorry to compensate all of this?

Furthermore, does it impact me or my history by any means to report such issues to police; having in mind that I am sponsoring my family as a new immigrant (being Permanent Resident) ?. Because I have been told by some fellows that if I even seek help from police, it will create a file in the record...........

I will be obliged to have your guidance to escalate the issue further, please.

Regards

They will create a file but it will not reflect badly on you. They need to create a history so if there is another incident and some one else from the police goes they have some background of what the previous officer did.

It will not affect you sponsoring your family as long as you are not charged.
