Drunk n drive case in US

[kryt0n]

It's like Canada as well. There are several provinces with different laws.
For example, medical insurance or welfare is handled differently in each province.

Yea... I still don't get it. Well, medical maybe, but a crime should be a crime with the same level of punishment, even if it means going for the lowest common denominator.

Canada treats them all the same regardless of the state it happened in. If the BAC is over 0.08 - you're inadmissible.

In Canada yes, but in my post I was referring to the US, and the fact that it cannot be said DUI is a "serious felony" in North America, when it's not considered such in ALL of N. America.

I really don't get that btw. It's one country... Why not have the same laws :s

Because that would be logical? When the Feds leave laws up to the states to decide...well, history tells us it gets complicated. lol.

You are currently inadmissable to Canada. You will need to wait 5 years after the completion of your punishment and apply for assistance from Canadian RCMP before you may apply. Sorry.

Agreed. You won't be eligible for rehabilitation until 5 years has passed from the time you complete the course. So you're looking at sometime in 2022 before you'll be eligible. Unfortunately this means there's no point applying to immigrate to Canada at this time. Refusal is guaranteed.

Is over speeding by less than 13 km/h okay?
Its showing on my Queensland traffic history..

 

[julientran]

Not quite sure. In the US speeding tickets will normally not show on the PPC unless you were arrested and fingerprinted (ex: DUI).
That's interesting traffic tickets will show up on an Australian PPC.

 

[DelPiero07]

That's because Queensland residents have to upload their traffic history (in addition to their PCC)

My friend was arrested by Toronto police for purchasing the bike that is stolen from the shop and he is not aware of. After 4 hours investigating, he was discharged without any charges or records (police said). So will it affect his PR?

As long as he declares it all as there may be something showing on his RCMP

Definitely not. If anything shows on his PPC, a LOE would be necessary.
