Did u send it to new york? Did u receive an email stating they received your application?
No! I send it to Mexico City Visa Office, but the last 22 April 2019 was refused together with my
Family Sponsorship PR Application

Mr.
After careful and thorough consideration of all aspects of your application and the supporting
information provided, I have determined that you do not meet the requirements of the Immigration
and Refugee Protection Act because you are a person described in paragraph A36(2)(b) of the Act.
You are therefore inadmissible to Canada.
Paragraph 36(2)(b) renders inadmissible a foreign national on grounds of criminality for having been
convicted outside Canada of an offence that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an indictable
offence under an Act of Parliament, or of two offences, not arising out of a single occurrence that, if
committed in Canada, would constitute offences under an Act of Parliament.
You have/has been convicted in the United States of America on 2010/03/22of an offence, namely
Driving while intoxicated. If committed in Canada, this offence would be punishable under Operation
while impaired, contrary to Section 253(1) of the Canadian Criminal Code and would be punishable
by way of indictment.
Subsection 11(1) of the Act states that the visa or document shall be issued if, following an
examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the
requirements of this Act. I am satisfied that you are inadmissible for the reasons set out above. I am
therefore refusing your application pursuant to subsection 11(1) of the Act.
This inadmissibility also extends to any stay in Canada as a visitor, for you. You should therefore not
attempt to enter Canada.
I am sending a letter to your sponsor giving notice of the appeal provisions of the Immigration and

This is a nightmare for My and wife and me!
Now days DUI is a Serious crime in Canada
Hope the best luck for your application!

That is somewhat confusing. So they're saying that you're denied because of your DUI in 2010? Many people who have dui's get accepted.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you guys know that I got the approval for my rehab application on April 30th. The timeline is as follows -

Consulate received my application on 9/18/2018
Consulate puts my application in queue on 11/27/2018
Approval on 4/30/2019

Here is the wording -

Date: April 30, 2019

Dear


This is in reply to your application for criminalrehabilitation under Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).

On January 2009, you were charged with 1 Count of Harassment, in the State of-. On July 2009, a motion to dismiss the charge was granted, pursuant to Article 45.051 of the [state] Statutes. In the absence of other convictions, it is the opinion of this office that this offence does not render you inadmissible as described in section 36 of the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).


Please note that this determination does not exempt you from any other requirements of the Act and its Regulations. You should retain this letter to present at a Port of Entry when you enter Canada. The final decision for your admission to Canada will always be made by the Canadian Immigration Officer at the Port of Entry.


Sincerely,


MigrationSection (IRCCNew York)

Timeline update:

I'm in a situation where I need to enter Canada from time to time for work. Initially when I got this job, I was one year shy of being eligible for rehabilitation. Criminal rehabilitation processing times were advertised at about one year. So I applied for a 2 year TRP which allowed me to travel into Canada in the meantime. I applied for the rehab as soon as I became eligible. All were approved and the timeline follows:

9/26- TRP application submitted
2/21- TRP application approved (2 year TRP)
6/23- (The day that I became eligible for rehabilitation) criminal rehabilitation application submitted.
10/21- received an email from the consulate that my application for criminal rehab was received and placed in the processing queue.
3/4- application for criminal rehabilitation approved

I live in the U.S. and submitted my application to the NYC office.


I hope this helps someone

I just came into Canada for the first time since my approval. I got pulled into secondary at customs. The officer said that he didn't know why but I was "marked". So I mentioned that it was probably to do with my recent criminal rehab approval. I had a hard copy of the approval letter with me so I gave that to him. He typed in some info into his computer, stamped my passport, and I was on my way. He said to carry that letter with me anytime that I come to Canada. He mentioned that the CR essentially puts an asterisk next to my name in their system for a period of time, so I might get pulled into secondary until it drops off in the future.

Yes, it is approved. I sent this to the consulate to confirm - "Thanks. Is this the only approval letter that I will receive or should I wait for something in the mail?"

The reply I received was -
"
Dear Sir,


Please be advised that, the letter you receive is the official approval letter. Kindly print it and show it to the port of entry officer each time you travel to Canada.

Hey i noticed that you received an email about 4 months after submitting your criminal rehabilitation. I received an email after only 1 month after submitting mine. Would u think that the day you receive the email is the official day they start working on your file. And if you had to guess would you u think maybe they were further backlogged when you sent yours
