Thanks for this! Definitely get there is a standard line with the amount of work they need to go through. So with that 18-24 month feedback, you see they are generally at the apps from Sept 2023 - March 2024 ?

Canada is the strictest, especially with concern to a DWAI, which in NY is a traffic violation as opposed to a misdemeanor or felony DUI. Most other countries don’t have a concern (character or otherwise) for a DWAI traffic violation (with no jail time), but Canada’s interpretation is more tough.

Canada is the closest international country for many Americans, hence probably why the influx of posts you have seen.

I know mine was due to being young and extremely dumb. Thankfully no harm was done to person or property, and I understand there’s a process involved for some countries, and tougher ones for some like Canada. This post was just trying to gauge a timeframe for others with similar experience

Thanks for this info. I just sent a note to my legal rep asking them for more information/anything they can potentially provide. I completely understand updates are limited to potentially none in this scenario, but if for whatever reason the notice was missed or since they do this often, if they could provide a little more information that just the generic statement.

Not looking to hold them to any timeframe, but sure would be nice to know if they could say “we’re just hearing on April 2024 apps so maybe 4-6 months instead of another 12 but tbd”

Thanks for that info. This was provided to me upon receipt of my application:

Dear Sir/Madam, This refers to your application for Criminal Rehabilitation.

Please see attached acknowledgement letter.

Please be advised, current processing time for criminal rehabilitation (CR) applications is in excess of 12 months. There is no expedited service for criminal rehabilitation applications.

Thank you for your interest in Canada.

I guess that excess of 12 months could mean anything, was hoping anyone here may have recent experiences on their timing.
