Hi there. My citizenship application is already in Process. According to CIC, they sent me a letter that I need more documents. But I have not received anything yet. I bet they ask me to get fingerprints.
I was charged with an assault in September 2006. I got to know a laywer who became a close friend of mine (He lived in the same apartment building. Luckily, he did everything for free. I am eternally grateful). I have not been convicted. I got 6 month peace bonds (Restraining Order) instead. Fortunately, I did not breach the condition.
Prior to applying for Canadian Citizenship in September 2007, I had to change my legal name and went to RCMP for fingerprints. I asked them if I had criminal records or not. They said "Nope. you don`t have criminal records. You had 6 month peace bonds. The condition was all over already. Peace bonds have nothing to do with criminal records. You can get it removed a year after today". I even talked to an immigration specialist I knew for a long time. He asked me if I was arrested, on probation or in jail. I said NO. He was like "That is good. It does not matter if you were charged or not. As long as you are not convicted, you are allowed to apply. You are doing well". As far as I know, I have no criminal records. I talked to lots of people (RCMP, A specialist and people at CIC). They all said the same thing that I was elligible to apply.
But, I am still afraid that CIC might reject my application.
Does anyone know?
