Impact of Impaired Driving Laws on Canadian Experience Class Applicants

[susanmark]

Hello,

I'm currently in the Express Entry pool under the Canadian Experience Class and have a question regarding impaired driving laws. I have a past DUI conviction from several years ago. Could this affect my eligibility for permanent residency or future travel to Canada?

I've read that even a single impaired driving offense can lead to inadmissibility under Canadian immigration law. What steps can I take to address this issue? Are there options like Criminal Rehabilitation or Temporary Resident Permits available for individuals in my situation?

Any guidance or experiences shared would be greatly appreciated.

You are PR, applying through SUV, working as a bartender through FSW and in retail too from past posts so why ask.

I've not seen yet the scenario where someone after landing is accused of misrepresentation or received PFL for then deciding to sponsor a non-accompanying family member. If there are such cases, please share.

What we have seen more of - definitely - is reports of IRCC basically not allowing / recalculating points for those whose spouse and/or children are already in Canada while the PA applies for PR. (Put more simply, those gaming the points by excluding spouses who clearly do intend to eventually become PRs - although I use 'gaming' without negative implication, my view is...

Not sure why anyone would hire a consultant that needs to get advice from a bunch of amateurs (no disrespect intended) on a forum. Whatever you charge, it's way too much.
