I'm being sponsored in Canada under "common law". I have received a letter stating that the application has been approved and that I just need to get the police check certificates to get my residency.
I'm Mexican but since I lived in the US for a few years I was required to send an FBI check, along with the Federal and State Mexican police records.
State and FBI police checks were no problem to acquire, but unfortunately do to an arrest for possession of a small (one/two cigarettes) amount of marijuana in Mexico (federal offense) I have a record with the federal government.
Obviously I have not been able to turn in that certificate. My question is, Can I just turn in the document that says that I do have a record and immigration will instruct me on what to do? Or do I have to follow the Mexican government process for the cancellation of the record and then turn that in to immigration Canada?
I have been trying to get the record cancellation in Mexico for a long time now, but do to bureaucratic and administrative errors on their behalf I have not been able to get that cleared. CIC gave me a deadline so I had to request an extension but I am very concerned I wont be able to clear this before my extended time is up.
Help me please!!!
