    Looking to apply for A Criminal Rehabilitation Permit, I need help!

    Leaving Canada On A Visitor Record

    From my understanding (after speaking with an Immigration Representative and a supervisor at a border crossing) they are reluctant to let you back in, unless you have re-entry documents. The reason being is that you cannot enter under the pretences of visiting because your intention has changed...

    Looking to apply for A Criminal Rehabilitation Permit, I need help!

    Yes, I applied on my own. Yes, they asked for additional documents. The reason for that is that the police certificates are only good for 3 months from their stamped date. When They are sent to Immigration in Canada for final review and possible approval, the certificates must be current...
