Hi Guys,
I'm in Manitoba, waiting for the AOR. Just got a ticket and 3 Day License Suspension. Will that affect my PR application? Do I need to inform IRCC?

its not a criminal record, so no, don't need to worry
Thank you so much!! One more question, if I want to dispute the charge in court, no matter what the outcome is, the conviction that goes on my driving record or not. It will not interfere with my permanent residence application right?

In that case you had to give the details to IRCC.

Oh no Really? Will that affect my PR application? I dispute the charge, I got a reprimand on the driving record.
Do I send them the personal driver abstract? Should I do it now or wait for them to ask for it?

Thank you in advance.

Better to do it now and why gets added again to the wait list and again go through the dilemma of " you are requested to provide additional documents" and "we are processing additional documents provided by you".

Thank you! Will that affect me from getting the PR? Not in terms of time, but the passing

Sorry I didn't got you. Were you charged? Did you try to get your Canadian PCC after this? Maybe it will get a clear picture.
No, I wasn't charged. But there is a reprimand which is a conviction that goes on my driving record and the fine.
I haven't gotten my PCC yet because I'm still waiting for the AOR.

Think about this carefully.

The law in Canada requires that a suspect must be charged AND being successfully convicted in order to receive a criminal record....

You WEREN'T charged.

Then how can you receive a criminal record?

Give me a break.

Yesterday on FB in an immigration thread a girl told us she was busted by police for DUI and smashing a car in a parking lot. She was given a charge sheet and summoned to court. It's the court that determines whether you get a police record, not the police. She's the type of person who needs to worry about her future in Canada. You can't have a criminal record if you don't get summoned to court to undergo legal processes required for such a thing to occur.

Calm your horses.

Thank you so much for the explanation. Ya I wasn’t charged or summoned to court. I did hired a traffic ticket service go to court for me, so they give me the reprimand, I can keep my merits and reduce the fine.

Do I still need to give IRCC the driving record?

Not unless they ask - and they may have access to it anyway through RCMP databases when do your Canadian police check.

You kept your points and reduced your fine lol (well done!), you got nothing to worry about it. You didn't receive a criminal record and a punishment.

Thank you so much! I was worried.
Will it go on to the RCMP databases, since it's not a federal criminal record but a provincial driving record?
