What documents or information have the most favorable impact with immigration officers on an Application For Criminal Rehabilitation? (Form IMM1444E).
Situation: American with dui conviction greater than 20+ years and 3 possession charges, has proof of completion of all sentences as well as a certified document which states the case files for the dui were destroyed per GC 68151 and/or GC 68152. (they didn't even show up on the fbi background check). Married to Canadian citizen and has no outstanding criminal issues. All other required documents have been obtained pertaining to the convictions, along with even more records (letters of support, retirement account info, college info, past visits to Canada on work visas, yadda yadda yadda). The CBSA agent who rejected him at the port of entry gave him a list of what he needed to obtain and directed him to apply for Criminal Rehabilitation through the Consulate. She stated that it was the DUI preventing him from entering (we have copies of that correspondence as she said she would look into things, they had reviewed his case and emailed him).
So, we HAVE everything we need according to the application and the CBSA agent's list, and just wondering what documents will have the most impact, or is that something which is a toss-up like everything else? Is there anything specific that SHOULD be included which isn't obviously indicated on the application?
Thank you for your time.
