Hi All,
I am an H1B visa holder currently working in the United States for more than 4 years. Couple months ago I was returning back from San Diego, California, where marijuana is legal, after taking the IELTS exam. On my way back I bought some marijuana for personal use and was caught by the Arizona cops. I have a court case pending and I am also planning to apply for PR through express entry. I am not planning to flee the country or something like that. I will stay back sort this out and later pursue my immigration process into Canada. I am pretty sure this will show up in the police reports which I will submit for the express entry process. Should I be worried or do I have to hire a canadian immigration attorney to guide me through the immigration process?
Thanks in advance.
