Denied. Help?

[SF1988]

SO i applied to work in Alberta, Got LMO approval and went through a visa solution agency. Bearing in mind that i already have an extension on my Visitors, Been through Canadian immigration services multiple times, i have been denied my work permit by being inadmissible because i have a SPENT conviction from the UK. I have a Son here that i would very much like to be able to support and see grow up. Any solutions to my problem?

Thanks for reading.

1. Canada doesn't have the concept of "spent convictions"
2. If you have been convicted of an offence abroad, that if punishable by indictment in Canada, and you could of got 10 years or more, you are inadmissible and must apply for rehabilitation, and 5 years must have passed since the completion of the sentence.
3. If you have been convicted of an offence abroad, that if punishable by indictment in Canada, and you could of got less than 10 years, if 10 years have passed since the completion of the sentence, you would be deemed rehabilitated, if not then after 5 years from the completion of the sentence, then you can apply for rehabilitation.
4. As you haven't stated what your conviction was for, and when the sentence was completed, which is needed to equate it to the criminal code of Canada no one can give you a firm answer.
5. Information on applying for rehabilitation is here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5312ETOC.asp

Conviction Was for A DR10 ( DUI in C.A.) with minimal suspension and minimal fine (16 Months) (75GBP).

I was conviction May 8 2007. The charge in canada is classed as a Minor offence, without Jail time. A course in the UK was offered to REDUCE SUSPENSION ONLY, and not to reduce the Criminal record itself. I was told by Uk government that because no offences have been committed since and 5 years have passed, it shouldnt hinder the Permit processes?

Is that Correct or have i been told incorrect information?

Will i need to be "Rehabillitated" under canadian law? If so where can this be done. ( In Alberta)

Thanks

Scott.

1. DUI is not a minor offence in Canada.
2. If your license was suspended for 16 months, then you now can apply for rehabilitation.
3. Note you are inadmissible to Canada as a PR/Visitor at the present time.
4. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5312ETOC.asp
