Hi everyone,
Today I received a letter from the Work permit office telling me that my application was refused. The reason was because I didn't disclose that I had a police charge in 2017. His/her reason is below:
"I am not satisfied that you have truthfully answered all questions in the documents you have submitted in support of your application, as required by subsection 16(1) of the IRPA.
Specifically, I am not satisfied that the following information is truthful: “Have you ever committed, been arrested for, been charged with or convicted of any criminal
offence in any country?”
In this case, this person is accusing me of "misrepresentation" and I am afraid it will be reported to the H&C office and thus my H&C application will be finally denied.
I don't have a criminal record, but I got a police charge of "mischief" and "assault" in 2017 but ended up with a "peace bond" which completed in 2018. This incident started with another woman's fault. She provoked me first when it was non of her business. She first insulted me, pointed her finger at me and pushed her body against me when the security guys were there. Then I went to her store, kicked down the mannequin. She then grabbed my clothes and purse and I grabbed her hair... Long story short, the police came and saw the footage from her store and arrested me. In the statement to the court, this police was quite biased and unfair and didn't present the whole story; he only mentioned how I "brutally" attacked the woman but didn't mention anything from the beginning nor did he mention the woman attacked me first twice. This woman was also very dishonest, there was a bruise on her hand that she got injured before, but she lied that it was from my attack. In 2018, she got several charges of selling counterfeits.
Today I called IRCC, an agent told me that I have passed the security and medical part, but the criminality part is still under processing. I asked my lawyer if i should write a letter to the H&C office to explain the police charge, he told me not to do it. (I asked him before I knew the refusal of my work permit). I heard that usually the security part is the last and the criminality is the first one to check. I am really worried that my permanent residence application will be rejected because of this police charge.
Do I worry to much or I am in a critical situation? Please give some insight, thank you very much!
I submitted my H&C application in Nov 2022, AIP in June 2024. So far is still under background check. It appears that this police charge has triggered a big issue.
