Tnx... but the problem is they don't have money to hire a lawyer... what is her chances? Is she got convicted?

Hello again:

Oh, she'll get convicted... Will they throw her out of the country?? I think they will.

If she is convicted she will be asked to leave Canada, I'm surprised she hasn't been asked to leave already.

Why would they allow someone from another country who has committed a crime while visiting to remain here?
