Facts misrepresentation / suppression of information

[STC]

Hi All,
We hafe filed our Quebec-PR case through an agent and received CSQ's and completed federal documentation Including medicals. Now CHC (Canadian High Commission) requested for FBI & US state police clearence and i had followed the procedure and received the report / results.  My FBI fingerprint record shows that no arrest record where as state record review result says that no criminal and non criminal history. Second search based on descriptive data with state record review resulted with information and it is sealed upon Non-Criminal Conviction. I am spouse of primary applicant and I had stayed almost 1year in US legally during 1997. I had Misdemeanor Citation in US for shoplifting (Petty offence) and the case was convicted upon plea of guilty and sentenced to fine amount of $100.00. I had paid the fine amount and i have all the supporting documents. Our agent had filled all the canadian Immigration forms and we had signed all the declarations based on his guidance. In Schedule 1 Background declaration form under Section 9 agent had checked all 'No' as a general practice. Now i have observed that there is a question stating 'been convicted of, or are you currently charged with, on trial for, or party to a crime or offence, or subject of any criminal proceedings in any country? Since it had been mentioned 'No' do they refuse our case on facts misrepresentation / suppression of information ground? Please HELP Immediately as the deadline is nearing and i need to submit my FBI & state record review results / reports to CHC.

Possibly, as you signed No for criminal/arrest record and you have one.  So you will just have to wait to see how CHC/CIC handles it.

With all due respect to senior or VIP members, I disagree with PMM. I think that you, being now aware of your potential problems and their consequences, should act first. If CHC/CAN Embassy will never raise or miss the subject it may come to you at a later stage, seriously delay your application, or affect you after your receipt of PR and Canadian citizenship. This is your time to protect yourself from possible government claims and actions.

And just how is the OP going to do that?  S/he claimed on the forms that they had no criminal record and the criminal record check shows s/he has one.  How do make it go away?  You can't.  Claiming you forgot is not going to cut any mustard.  It is in the hands of CHC/CIC, if they decide that it is misrepresentation, then it is all over, even though the shoplifting offense would not have made them inadmissible.
