You are inadmissible because of the DUI. Your PR app will be refused and you will be ordered to leave Canada.

Did you lie about the DUI when you originally entered Canada?

You're inadmissible to Canada until at least 2019. The work permit was correctly refused and as cancuk_in_uk explained, your sponsorship application is going to be refused as well.

I would start making plans to spend the next few years outside of Canada until you qualify to apply for rehabilitation. You will qualify for rehabilitation once 5 years have passed from the time you completed any punishment / paid any fines related to the DUI.

No i did not lied about my charges as i was charged in canada.
Thanks canucks and scylla.
Is there any way i can be saved.
A good lawyer or something can save me ?

If the DUI happened in Canada, then I don't believe you are inadmissible (you would only be inadmissible if the DUI had happened outside of Canada). Since your situation is complicated, it's probably best if you consult with a good immigration lawyer. My understanding of the situation is that CIC will process your PR application without any issues - however you don't qualify for a work permit which means you will have to wait until PR is approved and you have officially become a PR before you will be able to work. Assuming that's the case, you likely have another year or more to wait until it will be possible for you to work.

I believe OP is still inadmissible.

Are you inadmissible because of past criminal activity?

In general, temporary residents and applicants applying for permanent residence are considered to be criminally inadmissible if the person:

was convicted of an offence in Canada;


Convictions/offences in Canada

If you have a criminal conviction in Canada, you must seek a record suspension (formerly a pardon) from the Parole Board of Canada (PBC) before you will be admissible to Canada.
