PNP Approved & Accompanying Spouse Got Charged Under DUI
-
Generally, If you’ve been convicted of driving while impaired, you may be inadmissible to Canada for serious criminality. This is because DUI now has a maximum jail time of 10 years and this constitutes a serious crime (https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/cj-jp/sidl-rlcfa/) . This means that you generally can’t enter Canada.
In your case, I would suggest that you inform IRCC of your husband’s charges because it may impact your application. Doing it over webform would be the best option. Most likely, the DUI will have a negative impact on your application.
