Question

Gavin, a permanent resident living in Canada, applied for Canadian citizenship in April. Three months later his wife, Theresa, accused him of hitting her and causing bodily harm. Gavin was arrested, detained for one day and ordered to stay away from his wife and home. A week later his wife withdrew the accusation. However, the crown prosecutor ordered him not to contact his wife and to stay away from her for a year. He calls your office asking for your advice. Would the crown decision affect his status as a permanent resident in Canada?

Answer 1

Answer: This might not really affect his permanent residence but it dents his identity as he applies for citizenship despite her wanting to withdraw the case

Step-by-step explanation:

Canada is a country that honours decency just like many countries do. They are some activities that an individual would do that would prevent him from gaining permanent residence or citizenship in the country and one of them is beating someone which could lead to death categorized as manslaughter. This might not really affect his permanent residence but it dents his identity as he applies for citizenship despite her wanting to withdraw the case
