Speeding ticket

[spookyb]

Hi guys,

Quick question. Do speeding tickets need to be declared on IMM 5669 under Question 6 a) or b)?

Thanks!

No , unless its not a criminal offense you dont need to . DUI will certainly go in it .

That's what I had thought, that they were only asking for criminal offenses. But the question is vague in that it says "been convicted of a crime or offense in Canada..."

The key word in there is "convicted" - which requires being arrested and charged with a crime first.

Thanks. Just making sure I didn't make a mistake when I checked "no" on the form.

You're welcome. I remember well the stress of filling out all the forms and worrying over every answer
