This is not true the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act protects ex-offenders, depending on sentence they become Spent unless you are applying for a Job that is exempt from the Rehabilitation of offenders Act.

an example if you got a fine-takes 5 years to be spent (which means you have to disclose it for 5 years) unless the job is exempt from rehab act

probation order-5 years to be spent.

custody 30 months plus NEVER SPENT always on your record.

For a job in the UK your correct, you don't need to disclose it after 5 years, however for immigration your record will always show on police records, it will only be removed once you reach 100 years old... if the offence is spent it will show " no live trace " on the ACPO... showing there has been an offence, but it is now spent... but it WILL show.

Thanks for advice. Please have look at this link:

It suggests something different to what you are saying Nicky. It's saying more then 2.5 years is never spent.

thats what i said 2.5 years NEVER SPENT

2.5 years being 30 months as always.

I'm getting confused here, that link says over 6 months to 2.5 years takes 10 years to be spent and anything over 2.5 years never gets spent. I got 2.5 years thus it is spent after 10 years. Or am I missing something.

anything thats 30 months or above 30 months, i think thats what it means. ie doing 30 months doesnt get spent. You have a interview mate, thats good news in that atleast you get to have your say. I guess its tougher to just to get a rejection letter and not have that chance. Personally think its a very democratic approach....thumbs up to canada
