I'm hoping someone could help me out with some advice. I'm applying for a visit visa for my parents and brother to visit me for my wedding at the end of this year. Neither of my parents have traveled in the past 10yrs since my father is self-employed and owns his own company and my mother works for him. My brother who has a higher paying full-time job will be funding the entire trip.

However, my father defaulted on his credit cards over 5yrs ago, which is a felony in our country and was charged and convicted and ordered to pay back his debt, which he has now done in full. In the application, they ask whether any applicant has been charged with a crime, and although defaulting is not a crime in Canada and this occurred many years ago, I don't know if I should be including these details on here as I'm afraid it will make them automatically reject his application. Any advice?

You should declare it.

If you hide it then take for granted that is an immediate refusal.

That makes sense, I'd hate to get refused for hiding it. Does anyone here have any experience with how they use the background information on this? Would any charge and conviction listed on there mean an application will be rejected?
