spousal sponsorship

[richard.williams]

but only the u.s. and canada or other countries as well? do you think that if i wanted to move to australia the record would haunt me? rsvp.

 

[Riley Haas]

The US, Canada, the UK, New Zealand and Australia all share information. It may just be travel information, but in that case they would still have your deportation on file.

 

[richard]

but do you think that to australia it might be easier or just as complicated with my deportation??? rsvp.

 

[richard]

so then it would have to be discussed with an australian immigration lawyer then for best advice? rsvp.

 

[richard]

why would only the u.s., canada, u.k., australia, and new zealand be sharing information of this sort? what do these five countries have in common? rsvp.

 

[richard]

what about other countries other than those five??? rsvp.

 

[Riley Haas]

Those are the only countries I know of that share as much information as they do.

ok lets assume that criminal rehabilitation takes place and then maple foods hire me for a 2 year contract, then what? if not by spousal sponsorship, what did you mean by other venues? but like what? venues, can you be a bit more specific? rsvp.

 

[Riley Haas]

It depends where you live, as I said before.

In some provinces, low skilled workers can be nominated for permanent residence because of a need in the particular province. But that's true only in some provinces.

Otherwise, you would have to find a skilled job to make your Canadian work experience qualify.

 

[richard.williams]

ok lets say specifically bc in this case. how would i know if criminal rehabilitation is approved then? if no skilled labor or job, why cant i just say that i want to start a business then? rsvp.

 

[Riley Haas]

You need hundreds of thousands or millions to start a business.

Criminal Rehabilitation is, as I have said before, utterly separate from your PR application. Once it is dealt with, you could presumably get your work permit, work in the northeast of BC, and eventually apply for PR through the BC PNP.

 

[richard]

well, what if i do have hundreds of thousands of dollars for a business, what would be the issue then? rsvp.

 

[richard]

on another note do you think that argentina is a first world nation like canada or not? if not first world nation, then would it be second or third world???? rsvp.

 

[Riley Haas]

I have never been to Argentina.

 

[richard]

but then how would i know if criminal rehabilitation has been cleared/approved by the government? rsvp.

 

[Riley Haas]

You have to apply, that's how you find out. You submit an application. You can submit an application without actually applying (i.e. without paying the application fee) to get an opinion as to whether or not you have been rehabilitated (but there's no point in doing that if you haven't waited the required amount of time). But if you need to actually be rehabilitated, you just apply.

 

[richard]

what if it doesnt get approved even after waiting 5 or 10 years? can it be appealed? rsvp.

 

[Riley Haas]

I don't believe Criminal Rehabilitation can be appealed. But that is something you would have to ask a professional.

If it is rejected, I believe you will be told why. If you are told you haven't waited long enough, then you can just wait longer. If you are told something else - perhaps, that there is not enough evidence of rehabilitation - then you could try to resolve that problem.

 

[richard]

how does the canadian government determine whether to forgive someone for their mistake? is it humanitarian or something else? sorry for the delay but my connection wasnt working! rsvp.

 

[Riley Haas]

They have all manner of guidelines, some of which are publicly available online. I have mentioned some of them in previous posts.
