Can a spouse be sponsored with having a conviction that is more than 5 years old?

It depends. People can only help if you provide specific information.

What was the conviction for? When did the person completely finish their sentence? Any other convictions?

To add to canuck's query, are any and all fines paid? If applicable, how long ago?

Thank you for your replies. Firearm charge first offence and was released in 2005 and hasn't been in trouble since.

Simple possession? No fine/ticket?

No fines had to be paid. He served 1 year.

Was he out of prison more than 5 years ago?

If so, he can apply for rehabilitation: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/inadmissibility/conviction.asp
