Hi guys- has anyone here had a criminal record and received their COE for a working visa?
I submitted mine Jan 30th and still waiting. Assuming it’s about them doing a thorough check.
January 9th I received a $900 fine and 6 month driving disqualification for driving with alcohol in my system.
Is there anyone out there who can give some info?

As far as I remember, it only becomes a problem if it’s drug related or you’ve actually been convicted in one way or another.
Like u/Patricklangb mentioned it’s only automatically disqualifying if it’s drug-related.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttt…….
You need to be aware that your chances of getting a driver’s license while you’re here is going to be effectively zero. Not sure if your job is going to require you to drive or not.
