I am sponsoring my husband for permanent residency but he has a criminal record in the USA, he currently lives in the DR. I am submitting the criminal rehabilitation application at the same time as the permanent residency application. Anyone else been through this process or is currently going through this process? I would appreciate any feedback that pertains to this situation.
Over 10 years, more than one charge so cannot be deemed rehabilitated, and none of the charges would have equated to a 10 year or more sentence in Canada.

Not sure that I would suggest submitting the Spousal Sponsorship application along with the rehabilitation application; why incur the added expense unless/until you get an answer on the criminal rehabilitation, first?
If you were convicted for two (2) or more offences outside Canada that, if committed in Canada, would constitute summary conviction offences:
You are deemed rehabilitated: at least five (5) years after the sentences imposed were served or to be served.
You are eligible to apply for rehabilitation: not applicable.

So, since there are more than one conviction and they do NOT equate to a charge that would mean 10 years in jail and it's been more than 10 years since he completed his sentence(s)...why is he not deemed to be rehabilitated?

I don’t know if I read it wrong or they had written it wrong and have since corrected it, lol (page was updated December 1, 2023). I had looked into this issue last summer and on and off since then.
Thank you so much for this info, which I had read but misread I guess, lol!
I will just go ahead and submit the PR application then!
Yes, I think you are right. I am going to apply for the permanent residency without applying for the criminal rehabilitation. I will update this post as I progress with my application, so others can learn.

Hi Pooky73
May I ask how did you apply for the court documents from USA? My boyfriend is gathering documents to apply for CR but we can’t find information about it online. The charges are from about 15 years ago, we consulted a lawyer but he wants a fortune to try to find the files and it’s not even guaranteed that he can find them.
Hi everyone I need some advice.
I was successful with PNP and got my ITA. I am submitting my PR application right now but my unaccompanying spouse is inadmissible due to an 8 year old dui. He is currently seeking rehabilitation legally with his lawyer. Can my PR application be refused due to this?
