F.A.Q. FOR THE WEEK

BY: RUSS WENINGER

QUESTION:“I’ve been charged with an

offence in Canada and am considering pleading guilty. I

am a permanent resident. Am I safe making a guilty plea?”

ANSWER:

Even relatively short prison sentences can result in you being stripped of your permanent resident status and deported.

ANSWER:

I would recommend contacting an immigration lawyer about the specifics of your case. If you have a criminal defense lawyer, this information should be shared with that lawyer.
