Driving offense (Methamphetamine)

[drinkpaleale]

I am an Australian, and over 5 years ago i was caught for driving under the influence of drugs (Methamphetamine). I was not convicted or arrested, I was given an on the spot fine and 3 demerit points on my license. Does anyone know if this would prevent me from getting a working visa? If so, should i chance it and not mention the offense?

i think you are ok because you weren't convicted. i also think you chance it if you are not on police computer.

i am surprised by one thing, being an australina why you want to immigrate to canada??

thx

Were you detained?
Have you seen your police check?

If you do not declare it and they find out about it, not good.

I havent as yet requested my police check, but will be doing that to make sure. I wasnt detained at a police station, just at a police bus on the roadside for a while when they were testing the results..

and its not all about sunshine and beaches!! i plan on going to whistler for a snow season or 2, think it will be an amazing experience.

thanks for your replies
