Criminal record from 2004

[marta1234]

Hello everyone

It has recently come to my attention that my husband was charged with a minor offence in 2004 for getting into an argument with and pushing a taxi driver. He was fined at the time but not put in jail. How will this affect our application for PR? We already sent it in stating that he was never charged with any offence and my husband states that he never even knew this was on his record until we saw it today. What do we do? TIA

If they find the charge and you did not tell them about it, you will be in serious trouble. You should do whatever you can at this point to come clean and tell them about the charge

He could not have been 'fined' if he wasn't 'charged' (although he may have mis-understood the process).

In any event, you have a non-disclosure situation and you MUST tell CIC immediately.

Some stuff on 'criminal rehabilitation' here:

I am deffo no expert, but it would seem a minor offence that is normally treated as 'deemed rehabilitated' after 10 years.
