Does she realize hat her being in Italy right now and trying to enter Canada could end in being deemed inadmissible because of a DUI? People try to enter as visitors a lot and are refused because of a DUI. This can be seen numerous times just on the tv show Border Security! If it comes up at customs, she will be turned away.

That's a good point, she's been to Canada only once but I don't know what she answered on that form they give you. I'll suggest that she comes on here and ask herself.

Thanks everyone.
 
Hi just wanna give my 2 cents in. First if your police record from Italy says it's clean then it's clean if immigration contacts Italy it will be a clean record. If you mention the dui to immigration you will put yourself in problems because it's not in your history. You can apply Outland and be living inland it goes much faster.(personal experience) And people do get permany resident regardless if they have criminal record or not please don't listen to ridiculous people on this site. I was told that I could NOT file a sponsorship app outland while being inland without status although cic never mentioned that. But I did regardless and git through in less than 6 months . Just an example of how ppl on this site could feed you wrong info

Thanks for your input. I also recommended that she speaks to a lawyer.

Ziggy your situation was quite unique so I would maybe refrain from slandering everyone as 'ridiculous' on this site, advice offered here is free and is sometimes far and away better than what you would get from employing a lawyer. The OP's original post advises that her friend was convicted of a DUI. Irrespective of whether this appears on the police certificate they have to make a choice of whether to disclose this or not. If they don't and for whatever reason it comes up in the future or during processing then its misrepresentation and they risk being banned from Canada. If thats a risk they are willing to take then that's their decision to make. Also the process of rehabilitation has been explained and nobody is saying someone with a criminal record can't apply for PR.

No one said she won't ever get permanent residency through sponsorship because of her record. What was said is, as a visitor who has not been deemed rehabilitated, she has the risk of not being allowed into Canada and without being allowed into Canada as a visitor, she can't apply inland. To receive her PR, she will require rehabilitation because not enough time has passed. If you're suggesting that the person in question misrepresents the situation simply because the police check doesn't have anything written on it, then the things you are saying is what is ridiculous. There are background checks CIc could do that we don't even know about, which could turn up this information regardless of what is written on the police check paper.

Read the documents set forth for the CBSA officers. There are much stricter guides to follow of letting someone I to Canada as a visitor. The person in question isn't even in Canada at the moment. Dui falls under the category of inadmissible. She will need rehabilitation before she enters into Canada if it comes to light that she does in fact have a dui on her record, and not enough time has passed. The same would be true before PR is granted.
