Hi All,

---- Immediate Help Needed -----

I was in the USA for 5 years. I was arrested in the USA (2018) but NOT CONVICTED. Court has been DISMISSED my case. In 2019 I moved to Canada to pursue Masters. Now I have completed Masters program which is PNP. I have received my PNP (Provisional Nominee Program ). Now I need to apply PR in a week. I have applied USA police clearance certificate.

Question: My PR application will be a problem? Please help me with the your answers. Really appreciated for your answers. Thanks

Should not be an issue. Make sure you answer "yes" in your PR application to the question about whether you have ever been arrested. Presumably you declared this arrest in your study permit application.

Did you disclose this in your student Visa application? You should disclose it in your PR application and it should not be a problem.

Yes, that may be an issue. You'll need to explain why you didn't disclose it during your student visa. As you were not convicted, it should not have led to a different decision on your student visa, but it's hard to say.

I will write a letter to the immigration officer and I will explain briefly in the letter.

Don't "explain briefly," provide all details. You don't want your application rejected and you banned because of your misrepresentation.

Thanks for your reply. I will provide my dismissed case reports. I think this should be fine I guess right? It doesn’t cause any problem to my application?
