Hello All,
I have a question related to Bar To Sponsorship (Section 5.28 of IP2 document).
If a person is convicted of a sexual offense or a violent offense against a family member, following applies to them:-
They are convicted of a sexual offence under the Criminal Code [against anyone]; or an offence [against the person] under the Criminal Code against a family member Sponsors or co-signers convicted of either of these offences where five years have not passed since the completion of the sentence imposed, cannot sponsor unless:
• for convictions in Canada, they have been pardoned or finally acquitted;
• for convictions outside Canada, they have shown, at least five years after the expiry of the sentence, that they have been rehabilitated, or there has been a final acquittal.
For the purposes of calculating the five-year period above, a sentence includes probation, suspended sentences and intermittent sentences. However, conditional discharges and absolute discharges should not be considered for the purposes of these provisions of IRPA.
What does the highlighted text implies?
