Hello All,
Me and my fiance are planning on getting married next year (September 2021). We do have long distance relationship. However, I'm worried my criminal history may stop me from sponsoring her after I marry her.
In 2011 when I was 21, I was charged with Invitation to sexual touching (section 152). In 2013, I was convicted summarily (less serious when comparing to indictable offences) and sentenced to 14 days in jail, as well as received 12 months probation.
All of which has been completed except. When looking at my CPIC, the only information which shows on my criminal profile are:
Aside from this information the, nothing else shows up on my CPIC. Due to the nature of the criminal offence, I'm not eligible to receive a pardon or a record suspension.
Since the day the offence occurred, I've turned my life around for the better. I went to college and graduated with high honours. I also went to university and graduated. Now, I'm working a full time Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm office job. I have spoken to an immigration lawyer, and he told me that I should not have any issues sponsoring my fiance, as its been more than 5 years since the conviction.
The only thing which the immigration lawyer has told me that, due to the nature of my conviction, my spouse in Pakistan may be required to see an immigration officer for an interview. During the interview process, my spouse may be asked questions about my criminal history. This is something which is in the past, and I do not feel comfortable sharing this information with my fiance until she arrives in Canada.
My question for you guys is, has any one been through the interview process where your significant other has a criminal conviction, and where their any questions asked about your spouse's criminal history?
Aside from that, what kind of questions were asked during the interview process.
