I have a somewhat complicated question regarding CR1 and a criminal record. If the beneficiary(from Canada) was charged with Simple Assault. I've left a definition of that at the bottom of this thread. The charge would have been laid in 2018 and because such a backlog in Canadian court system, never got finalized until 2020. The charges ended up being withdrawn and entered into a peacebond for 9 months. No other criminal convictions since.

Section 266 reads as follows: (a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years; or (b) an offence punishable on summary conviction. Like most criminal offences in Canada, simple assault is a Crown elect indictable offence. This means the police have a right to fingerprint the accused and the Crown can proceed either by summary conviction (misdemeanor) or by indictment (felony). How they choose to proceed can impact the maximum possible sentence (6 months vs. 5 years in the prison)."" Simple assault refers to the most basic form of assault charges in Canada. These cases often result in relatively minor injuries if any and do not involve the use of a weapon. It is one of the most common criminal offences in Canada and is sometimes also referred to as a “common assault”.
