need some help please

[moon44 0]

ive been with my girlfriend (canadian citizen) for 18months now and she want to sponsor me so i can go and leav hith her in canada,but 7 years ago i was deported from usa for overstaying my visitor visa ,plus i have some offences that i end up having probation and fines (no jail time) 8 years ago.

so my question is that that my past will affect me ???? if yes ,is there anything that we can do to overcome this matter,any input will be appreciated.

I don't think an overstay in the US will affect your Canadian immigration. Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Hi,

It would help if you were specific and told us what the offences were. Absolutely they can affect your chances of immigrating to Canada.

But anyway, again, can't answer your question unless you tell us what the offences were.

You have to state the offences in order for us to help you.

I only know that a poster here, who hasn't been here now in a month or so, Reba, she immigrated to the U.S. to be with her husband because he had a criminal record, I thought it was DUI, but I'm not sure, and he couldn't immigrate to Canada. You might want to ask here.

Don't the American and Canadian border services agencies exchange information? Or maybe they're just picking up criminal information on a reciprocal agreement because they certainly have access to that. I wouldn't be surprised if your deportation shows up in a database. Would it not show up in a criminal records check also?

That is exactly what I wanted to know. If you overstayed in the US, are you there illegally or are you now there legally? Are you an American citizen? A PR?

To immigrate to Canada you need to provide a police certificate from everywhere you have lived for more than 6 months since the age of 16. Yes, your crimes will come back to haunt you. Canada Immigration does recognize 'rehabilitation'. It is expensive and it takes time but it may be what you are looking for. Here is a link to the information for rehabilitation re: immigrating to Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/a...ides/5312E9.asp You and your girlfriend should also read over this site very thoroughly to see what it is you need to do for family immigration to Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse.asp

btw - Canada does not have a fiancee visa - you need to be married or in a conjugal or common law relationship in order to immigrate as a spouse under the family immigration class.

If you're a Moroccan citizen and these offenses are all there. I think you'll have to deal with getting a pardon from that government, the Canadian gov't has no jurisdiction over that. I'm not sure if that's what you meant when asking about it. Then of course you'll need the police certficate from your home country when applying to immigrate to Canada eventually.
