Request a diversion program to the crown when you going to the court at the first appearance. The diversion program may included community services or pay a fine. After that, the charged will be dismissed

You will have no criminal record, you will have a cpic record when you did fingerprinter, but you can ask the record destroyed after the charged have been dismissed.

The cpic record will affect you across border, and CIC officer also know the cpic record when you come back to Canada, it may affect your immigration application. It is important to let them destroyed.

After destroyed the cpic, you are clear. Nothing will against you later.

Thank you very mach,u did may day, I feel I want to die, I have 10 month old son, but I can not take care of him now, I just thinking about this stupid situation, What do you thing ,I have chance for the Deversion programm

Well first, too late to even talk about a defense, since you confessed, wrote letters admitting guilt. That is another entire discussion, about burden of proof.

But yes in many cases you can get a diversion program. You need to tell husband, if he finds out latter it will be worst

Yes I know, but I really scared, I don't know,what if he will never trust me, OK I hope they will give me a chance,but days are passing so long, I have my court date on 15 July 2010,

[QUOTE=mazila;2393040]yes I know, but I really scared, I don't know,what if he will never trust me, OK I hope they will give me a chance,but days are passing so long, I have my court date on 15 July 2010,[Are they will send any letter, I am trying come early from college to get all the ail, so I guess ,I have to expect letter from the store

It is possible you will not be given diversion program, but not likely, it depends on the decision from Crown. If the crown think your should be sentenced, then, you have to face judge.

The sentences also will be some fine or community services, or discharge but not like diversion, you will have a criminal record and you will have CPIC record and you cannot destroy record later.

Thank you very mach, I hope ,I will get diversion program,OK and one more question, what will be on the court what should I answer, 1) Why you did this? 2) Is it your first time, And what kind of question will be asked, And can I be deported?? And all the decision will be makes on the Court date?? And how many court I will have, so mach question, I really sorry

O my God ,what to do, I will be deported alone or with my family, I don't want to think about this, but I have to, because Iam stypid, Guys I soooo disappointment, and I don't know, still my husband doesn't know anything, I am scare to tell, or they will deport me alone?? so many question, what if they will ask , I am doing first time or?? What should I answer, actually it was a second time I did??

Noooooo, I was trying to do the first time but I didn't, the first time you always scared,and my family was with me, and I left staff, and bought by original price,I mean I change price tag second time, but in the first time I didn't purchase, so should I tell this to judge, and what kind of question will be asked at the court, and how long the court will continue, really I can not calm down, I don't know why I so stupid,so for keeping of writing post, because only with you guys I can share, nobody knows , I don't know what will happen ,but anyway I want to talk with you, please can I??
