Hi all,
An update regarding my situation; so I have luckily managed to get the documents that CIC has requested! After contacting my lawyer in Australia, I received the court documents wherein it showed that I completed the terms under the diversion program; a fine of AUD50 to the Salvation Army and letters of apology to the police and to the department store. I was told that this was merely a slap on the wrist and no criminal conviction was recorded and the matter was fully discharged by the magistrates court. I have submitted the files along with my written letter of explanation, the correspondence with my lawyer and my police certificate from Australia.
I hope that this is sufficient. I’m now wondering if CIC would view this the same way? Would CIC still require more documentation/explanations beyond this?
Thank you all very much for your help!
