Question:
Someone has three CAUTIONS (that happened ELEVEN years ago, when aged sixteen to eighteen) for possessing a very small amount of cannabis, but has NO CONVICTIONS and has NEVER BEEN CHARGED (never been to court and stood before a judge) for ANY crime, and has since lived a very lawful life.
Would they have a problem when applying for the International Experience Canada visa?
As their police certificate reads "no live trace" and not "no trace", would they have to mention the cautions on the application?
I have read all the scenarios within the forum but nothing really answered this specific situation.
I'm aware of the rehabilitation process, but not really sure if that would be necessary?
Lots of people have said that a caution for possession of cannabis wouldn't be a problem, and others have mentioned that if a caution is over ten years old then it should be fine.
I'm not sure if three cautions would make a difference though?
Just to highlight again, they are all cautions (which under UK law don't have to be mentioned anymore within the UK) and not convictions.
I would really appreciate any help if you have any ideas.
