Question Just gotten a police caution, want to move to Canada in a few years :(

Hello all,

So I've gotten myself into a bit of trouble. Basically I've been given a police caution after exchanging some heated emails with a former classmate after a falling out, and she went and reported them to the police! Anyway I signed a caution saying that I sent her a rude email and now I feel like I've really messed up. I actually asked the police officer in charge of the case and he said it shouldn't be an issue as it's a very minor caution. But I didn't believe him.

I really want to move to Canada in a few years time, I'm not sure when. Luckily the work I do (photographer/ filmmaker) don't normally require a DBS checks. So working wise I'll be fine, and I want to set up my own production business and hopefully bring it over to Canada.

It's just I'd rather know now what I can do to help my case? I'll be so gutted if I can't move, work, let alone visit Canada because of a stupid online fight I had with a fellow student.

Can anyone give me any advice?

CIC in the vast majority of cases will deem a police caution as not a conviction therefore if that is the only thing you have on record then it won't render you inadmissible into Canada. Each case is taken on its own merits however IMHO you wouldn't be found inadmissible.

Wow. Very orwellian.
