Well as the title says its all started for me been offered a job and getting put on the existing LMO job is in Regina as a plumber. just wondering about 1 thing when i was 17 i got a driving conviction for
CD30: Driving Without Due Care and Attention
im 31 now so just hoping this won't affect me can anyone confirm. also anyone else in here going to regina or in regina, coming from glasgow scotland and looking for rough ideas for house rentals good areas ect.
Thanks in advance cheers

Im pretty sure you will be ok provided you completed in full any sentence imposed. If only the one conviction then you will be deemed rehabilitated.
If charged as a young offender (not an adult) then that wouldn't be taken into account however if filling out any application for CIC purposes and you are asked have you ever been arrested, charged or convicted of an offence then the answer will always be YES.

yes i was given an 18month driving ban which i served it was charged as an adult. thanks.

OK, so for Canadian inadmissibility purposes, you have to count on 10 years from when the ban ended (not when you were charged). If it's been more than 10 years, which it sounds like it has, and if you've not had any other run ins with the police, you should be 'deemed rehabilitated' and able to enter Canada.

HTH.

thats great guys thanks for that. just checked my passport and its just expired so getting that rushed through lol. could anyone on here advise me of what percentage of deductions i would have from my salary say for instance my top line is 2250 bi weekly what should i expect to take home and be able to spend thanks again

Not sure the passport office are rushing anything through at the moment are they?!

There are plenty of tax calculators you can use, start with the Wiki which links to several and will give you info on what deductions you can expect (it's not just tax, things like EI as well). This page is a good place to start - http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Income_Tax_Rates

Will you be needing to support a family on that salary?

yes not straight away ill come over and setup then my partner and 3 kids will come over is 4500 a month not a decent wage to live on over there?

It might be worth starting a new thread so that those in SK can comment and give their monthly outgoings etc. If it's before tax it sounds quite low to me for a family of five, but I've not lived in SK so don't know how your cost of living will compare. Is your partner planning on working?

no as wee have a new born, looks like i should clear about 3500 per month for rent ect. the company i work for have told me that if i am what my resume says they will up my wages to about 5900 a month which looks better. thanks for the help

I think asking on another thread would be a good idea, put Regina in the title so those in the area will see it and you can ask what kind of lifestyle you can expect for a family of 5 on $3500 a month (have you included CPP and EI in your salary deductions?). As cost of living in Canada is so similar to the UK, you could use that as a base for now - if you can live a good life on £1900 a month in the UK, then hopefully Canada will be similar as long as you've got a good chunk behind you to get set up out there.

If you have it in writing that the company will increase your wages, great, but if you don't then you can't count on it at all.

Best of luck.

i don't have it in writing, so i guess need to suck it and see. have started a new thread.
clearing 1900 here was fine for us. hopefully overtime will get the wages up to help start me off. I'm hoping to take ove 15-18k gbp but will need to purchase a car and pay deposits ect.

Sounds like you'll be fine then. As I said, I've no knowledge of SK, but it just seemed quite low to me for a family of 5. Hopefully those in the area will comment on your other thread though, best of luck.
