Whichever option you select, it is not going to impact your application.

Correct, it does not show up in the criminal record. People get tickets for traffic violations day in and day out. Don't worry.

Hi quick question please , i had a ticket for 48 KM over speed and then i challenged in court , however i got convicted with speeding offence , and had to pay the ticket. will that affect my citizenship as i just replied no to no criminal offence apply to me ? please let me know.

As long as it is a simple speeding ticket, no it won’t. If you have been charged with dangerous driving (usually involves speeding at twice the posted speed or excessive speed), you can be charged under federal law and the penalty is up to 5 years. That could affect your citizenship.

Thanks Buletruck, nope i have been charged with speeding offence.

Then you’re fine.

Take it to the track next time. Far fewer buses to dodge and costs about the same as your speeding ticket.
