How to prepare a strong and complete Criminal Rehabilitation Application

The first step to apply for Criminal Rehabilitation is to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements based on the type of conviction, the time elapsed since the completion of your sentence and the reason why you wish to be rehabilitated. Once this is met, you have to submit a strong and complete application as the decision process is a discretionary one by immigration officers.

I applied for rehab in 2016 but was denied. I reapplied in 2020 and was approved this week. It was for serious criminality and cost 1000. The charges were from 2002 but fines were paid in 2017 and so I had to wait 5 years to elapse

Hi Mary - You video is absolutely fantastic and detailed. The way in which you approach the subject is smart and tactical! I am curious, do you recommend paying the fee for criminal rehabilitation before approaching the boarder with the entirely completed application and significant documentation for review by a BSO at the POE?

Hello, Mary. Thank you for your great videos. Asking for a friend. My question is - in general, - if a person was arrested in the US for intoxication/disorderly conduct (2015), but the plea entered was NOT GUILTY, and the case was dropped without going to court; Is it necessary to apply for rehabilitation for immigration purposes, and if yes is it done before, after, or during the the actual PR application? Most likely, the fact of the arrest itself will come up on the FBI report, but since there was no subsequent court trial and no conviction, I am not sure if the immigration still perceives it as criminally inadmissible? Is it typically necessary to write and attach an extended explanation with the answer to this question on the application itself? Thank you so much.

Thank you for your amazing work.
Is it necessary for every document to be in english language? All of my court documents are in german, do i have to have them all translated? And can you apply for a teaching certificate once the rehabilitation is approved, or do the convictions continue to appear in the criminal record or other registers?

Thank you so much for this informative video. I wanted to ask a question about the original clearance I’m originally from the Congo DRC but I’ve lived in the United States since I was a kind and I got deported to Congo at the age of 24. How can I get a original clearance from the states 🇺🇸 . I don’t think I’ll be able to get one from the Congo, because our country underdeveloped.
Thank you so much 🙏🏾

Hi,
Thanks for the video. I arrived in Canada from Australia a year ago. I was granted a TRP at the Vancouver airport on arrival and an open work permit for 2 years. We want to apply for permanent residency... Been advised to apply for rehabilitation once my criminal charge is past 5 years (this coming May 2022)! My ridiculous crime was my gun (I had a gun license) was locked inside my gun safe but it wasn't bolted to a wall. This was because we had been moving house at the time. I got a record on my police check and a fine which I paid.... So I still apply for rehabilitation if I'm already in Canada.... To start to PR process? Thank yoh

[Teleman]

Quick question, I am eligible to apply for rehabilitation (USA). But I also have to have a TRP for this coming up in January for work. I live in the states and come to Canada once a year for work. My question is, as I understand right now with Covid, TRP's are only being accepted via email PDF. Are the rehabilitation applications still paper only?? There was no mention of those in the last email from the consulate. Also where would someone in the United States send the rehab application nowadays? Thank you so much!

I'm from Nigeria. I got misrepresentated in 2019oct, i didn't even know because of the stupid agent in charge of the application was unprofessional. i still went ahead and proceed with obtaining another visitors visa and sponsor visa. The sponor visa was approved but the visitor visa wasn't approved, it says I'm inadmissible to Canada. That made the ircc close my permanent resident application till 2024. Me and my wife are really going through hard times. As you said in your video that if you are misrepresentation you can still get TRP. and am I gonna be approved because we wasted lots of money and time.

What if it was a misdemeanor attempted assault that has been expunged in America. Does Canada count expunged records?

Hi,

Your videos have been very helpful.

I had a DUI in April 2017 in New Zealand, had my licence cancelled for 6 months with $800 fine and court fee, Got my licence reinstated in October 2017, however I had payment plans for my fine, last instalment was paid in June 2019.

My wife is eligible for Express entry
. To apply for criminal rehab application, will it be 5 years from the last date of my fine or the day I got my licence back.

Or it is up to officers discretion??

Your response will be really appreciated

Regards
Garry

If I committed an offence and have been rehabilitated, can I don't mark that in my application? Obviously not, but why then do rehabilitation? There is a large competition amount potential immigrants and province rather choose a clear person🤔

Hi Mam,

First of all I must thank you for this video and requesting you to please guide me with one query...

If a person who has been convicted for drinking at public place outside Canada and got relased by the court through submitting fine without any imprisonment.

Can that person apply for Canadian PR application normally if not then what is the process in that case.

Please help🙏
