URGENT HELP NEEDED

[sheri22]

hi everyone well i have a question for my friend who is also going through this and her problem is that she is sending her husbands app the end of jan to start the process but she is worried about what will happen. she has been accused of theft and fraud so will be dealing with the courts also. what happens if she is by chance found guilty will she lose everything including her passport and husband? please any help for her

If your friend is a canadian citizen, then the only thing that could happen if convicted is she won't be able to sponsor her husband until she serves her term.

If she is a permanent resident, and is convicted what happens next depends on the sentence. If she is sentenced to 6 months or more, she could be deported. If less than 6 months sentence, then she has to serve the term first and only then can she sponsor her husband.

She won't lose her husband, but may not be able to sponsor him. She should get a good criminal lawyer and also speak to an immigration lawyer(if she's a permanent resident) to be on the safe side.

she was just wondering about her passport? she has never had anything against her before and she is a citizen. there wont be any jail time maybe just a fine if found guilty

 

[canadianwoman]

She won't lose her passport.

thats great news. she was so upset and worried that she would never be able to travel to see her husband again. what are some of the reasons that they would take a passport? i thought it was if you had any kind of criminal record???

If your friend has a criminal record, it may affect her ability to enter another country. Some countries share criminal records with other for immigration purposes and they could see that she has a criminal record and thus may not allow her in.

This also apply to those with drug convictions, DUI convictions and the like.

she has no priors, clean drivers, a good person just with her there has been some accusations towards her about getting credit cards in her mothers name without her permission but she did have the permission but other family members have told police that she did not

looks like you got yourself into some trouble, bottom line is you should try to repay the money, hopefully it was less than 5000. If the theft is for more than $5000, this poses a serious crime under the criminal code.

Be careful sunshinemrc, the OP is referring to her friend not herself. She is not the one that has the issue.

That said, as long as her friend is doesn't have a conviction, she has no record for immigration to know about. So until her friend has a conviction, her record is clean thus can travel to other countries. Once her friend has a conviction, depending what the charge is, travel may be an issue.

her mother will be going to court to stand up for her to tell them that she indeed did not do this and that she was the only one there to help her. i have tried to ask others and well its so many different stories or answers. all i know is that she has told police that she will be responsible to pay off all debts occurred and that she did have permission because her mother went with her to the bank to add her as a second person to the card. its messed up.

 

[sheri22]

thank you yes its not me.. the charges are theft and fraud and misuse of credit cards. they are saying 2 counts of theft under 5000 and 4 counts of fraud and misuse

 

[sheri22]

oh sorry guys but she has another question i forgot to mention. she has filed her husbands pr app and now is wondering what would happen to that if she was convicted? she filed last week. lol she needs to get net so she can come on here.

 

[sheri22]

need answer to last question? anyone? what if he is found guilty of theft and fraud will they stop her app??

 

[ramkris]

well did she mention about this in the application . I think there is no provision until she is convicted. So she should be clean during the process of sponsorship and ball goes in to sponsored persons court his embassy their procedures.

until she's on welfare normally they would approve.it takes only a month to get approval.court case should be longer than that

 

[sheri22]

so as long as her sponsorship has been approved before her court date then she can still get her husband here?
