Hello,
Excuse me if this question is not appropriate but I would really like some clarity.
A friend of mine has submitted all required documents for Express Entry, Canadian Experience Class- Degree Accreditation, Letter from bank with history of good standing accounts, letter from employer (well known software company) proving 2.5 years Canadian Work Experience with relevant NOC code, Police check from home country stating NO CONVICTIONS (and nothing else mentioned on it) etc. etc. etc. She is very confident that she will receive her PR soon without issues.
However, she had a court appearance in her home country a number of years back for an arrest with a no conviction outcome for possession of a drug that would not be considered an offense in Canada. She did not mention any of this in her PR application as she was worried about Canada and US sharing information and that it could prevent her from entering the US in the future. She also did not mention it on her current IEC visa application which was processed without issues and was afraid of mentioning it now as it could result in misrepresentation due to the previous IEC visa application.
Friends and workmates of hers have successfully got their PR without any issues when they were in a similar situation and didn't mention previous arrests and court appearances in their home country. I believe this was before the introduction of Biometric requirements for PR applications.
I know she should have mentioned it regardless but she took advice from others.
Does anyone know what shows up with Biometrics during the Background Check for Express Entry and could this kind of information from her home country now be available to Canadian Authorities through Biometrics?
She claims her fingerprints were taken when she was dealing with the offense in her home country (about 5 years ago).
She doesn't seem worried about it at all because of the experiences her friends have had and nothing from their home country being disclosed about their arrests and court appearances.
Does anyone have any information on this? She is close friend of mine and I would obviously hate it she had to leave the country due to misrepresentation.
Thanks!!
