    Hi cassandra, I know this thread is old but what was the outcome of your case? I am in a similar situation and the monetary value of what I so stupidly tried to take was approximately the same as yours.

    Same thing happened to me last Friday, I got caught stealing $450 worth of items in hudson bay mall, two undercover arrested me, they got my information but I gave them a wrong address and a wrong phone number. But they got my right name because they happened to check it in the immigration. I have scheduled this nov 13 to do fingerprinting & picture taking. Ill be on court this coming 21st of November.

    *I'm a first offender
    *21 years old
    *permanent resident in canada (so could this affect my application of citizenship?)
    *no money to pay a lawyer.

    PLEASE I NEED ANSWER :(

    I don't want to be in jail.
