Hi all,

I received a speeding conviction in the UK a couple years ago where I pled guilty via post and received points on my licence and a fine. No arrest.
Speeding does not go on a criminal record in the UK as it is considered a motoring offence (non-recordable offence).
However, I believe I received a conviction as it went through court (single justice procedure) as the speed was excessive.
Would I have to declare this on the eVisitor/ETA?

I don't want to go through the hassle of declaring something that's not considered a crime in the UK - anyone else been in a similar situation?

Thanks a lot.

Speeding isn’t considered a crime here either. Should be good to go.

Although the vast majority of speeding offences are dealt with under Provincial Laws there can be occasion where a charge could be laid under the Criminal Code of Canada Dangerous operation

• 320.13 (1) Everyone commits an offence who operates a conveyance in a manner that, having regard to all of the circumstances, is dangerous to the public.
  
  Punishment — dangerous operation and other offences
  
  (5) Every person who commits an offence under subsection 320.13(1) or 320.16(1), section 320.17 or subsection 320.18(1) is guilty of
  
• (a) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years; or
  
• So a person who commits an offence that could be equated to the Canadian offence of 320.13(1) would be considered inadmissible for serious criminality and would need to apply for rehabilitation.
  
  You choose if to declare it or not.
