Hi all,
We are just wondering how a previous domestic violence incident will effect our application. About three years ago my wife was working in Canada and was in an abusive relationship. It got heated one time and there was a drunk altercation at the club and her boyfriend hit her. She went home but he was picked up by the cops. When he got to the station he said he was just defending himself and gave the cops all her information. A few weeks later he hit her again and was arrested again. My wife was given a ride down to the station to give a statement. When she was there the cop noted that he had the previous altercation on file. He was charged, she never heard anything more about it, and they broke up. We're just worried that this will show up on her police background check and cause issues. She was absolutely never charged with a crime, however her ex did claim that she attacked him. Will this cause problems? She was on a work visa at the time, and is now on a visitor visa. She has left and returned to Canada multiple times since then with no issues. Are we ok? Everything I've read said that as long as there's no criminal conviction (which there absolutely isn't) then you're ok. Please reassure me!
