Même si le dit Français souhaite immigrer admettons ???
La personne est présumée réhabiletée 10 ans après l'infraction. Après 10 ans, elle est considérée comme ayant un casier judiciaire vierge (aux yeux de l'immigration).

Par contre, j'ai peur qu'a l'aéroport, ils me posent des problème si mon jugement n'est pas encore passé?
savez vous si ils peuvent ?
Je t'ai déjà répété que non!!! 🤪 L'aéroport n'a strictement rien à voir avec ton histoire! Tu n'es pas recherchée par la police, ni par la GRC, ni par le FBI, ni Interpol, ni par une organisation secrète😇.
Enfin, relaxe un peu.

😊 OUPS, je sais , je suis un peu "tannante" avec mon stress, comme vous dites lol..
Mais j ai tendance à me faire une montagne de cette histoire, cette nuit j ai rêvé que j'étais rentrée en france mais qu ils n'arrêtaient pas d'appeler sur mon téléphone ..lol
bon j avais écrit à la greffière samedi dernier pour avoir plus d'éléments sur la date du jugement et tout, elle vient de me répondre qu elle transmettait mon courriel à un de ses collègues mais que pour l'instant , rien n'était enregistré car ca ne datait que de la semaine dernière...J'ai bien l'impression que la procédure doit être longue.
Je me demande aussi si ils ont le droit de contacter mon employeur du québec si j ai un mandat d'arrêt..?
car j ai de bons rapports avec mes collègues et mon boss, mais je ne veux pas leur exposer mes problèmes..
je comprend votre stresse, j'ai ete confrontee a un probleme similaire moi aussi, j'ai commis un vol a l'etalage et j'ai ete interpelee par l'agent de securite du magasin, je m'en allais en voyage dans les 10 jours suivants, je paniquais, je ne voulais pas que mon mari le saches, et j'avais peur aussi pour ma citoyenete j'avais passe mon examen et j'attendais de recevoir la convocation pour pouvoir l'obtenir et bien sure le fait d'avoir un moindre probleme avec la justice ca pouvait retarder ma citoyenete, voir meme la suspendre.........
j'ai passe 2 mois en dehors du canada, j'ai fini par tout dire a mon mari, j'avais peur d'etre arretee a l'aeroport, le magasin m'a fait signee un papier comme quoi que j'ete informee que j'allais recevoir une lettre par la poste par les avocats du magasin seras me reclament une somme d'argent pour compenser le temps de l'agent de securite ......, .....la police a ete appelee, et comme j'avais collaboree les policiers m'ont fait signer un document: promesse de comparaitre et ils m'ont donne un num d'evenement. j'avais honte mais comme je n'arretais pas de pleurer l'agent de securite m'as dis tout doucement, Melle je vous conseil sincerement de contacter un avocat, comme je travaillais je n'avais pas droit au recours a l'aide judiciaire, bref....
apres avoir fait une recherche j'ai contacte plein d'avocats pour avoir des renseignements, mais la pluparts me reclamait de l'argent avant meme de repondre a ma toute premiere question......, je suis enfin tombee sur un avocat, il m'a alors parle de << dejudiciarisation>> c'est un programme qui favorise le traitement non judiciare de certaines infractions et crimes mineurs, mais il y a des condition pour y etre acceptee, la je commencais a voir un peu de lumiere, j'ai pris RDV avec l'avocat, j'ai quand meme paye 500$, l'avocat a fait une l;ettre au procureur lui demanadt de traiter le dossier selon le programme, il a parle de moi en disant que j'ete une personne qui travail depuis mon arrivee au canada, que je n'avais pas d'entecedants judiciaires, que j'ete maman d'un bebe naissant..... bref.
peu de temps apres j'ai recu une lettre des avocats de sears me reclamant 500$ de compensastion. mais l'avocat m'a dis de ne pas les payer, car si je passe en justice on poura jouer avec ca pour negocier avec les avocats de sears....
enfin apres exactement: 3 mois et 4 jours d'attente j'ai recu une lettre du procureur des poursuites criminelles qui m'informe qu<il acceptent de dejudiciariser mon infraction, mais que se serai l'unique fois ou j'aurais droit de beneficier de cela, mais vous pouvez en etre sure jamais je ne recommencerai, jamais, jamais, j'ai vu ma vie se ruiner mon couple se deteriorer a cause de cela, cela fait plus de 5 mois, que je n'ai rien pris des magasins, je ne veux pas retomber dans ce tourbillion de criminalite, j'ai eu de la chance cette fois-ci.
j'aimerai juste informer nos amis en haut, il faut faire la diffrenmce entre 2 choses: poursuites criminelles et poursuites civiles.
le magasin ou le vol a eu lieu vous poursuit au civil et demande des compensations.
et la police couronne vous poursuit au criminel.
il n'y a aucun arrangement a prendre avec l'administration du magasin comme quelqu'un vous l'a suggere plus loin, vous pouvez payer les frais exiges par le magasin et ca regle le probleme du cote poursuites civiles, mais il est trop tard pour les poursuites criminelles. je pense avoir repondu a toutes vos questions, mais l'avocat m'a informe que meme si je n'ete pas admissible au programme de non judiciarisation, il existait des moyens pour que tout cela finisse par l'obtention d'une absolution inconditionelle vu que c'ete ma premiere infraction, mais au pire une absolution conditionel, ce qui n'est pas pire par raport au casier judicaire, mais il ne fallait surtout pas que ca en arrive la, parceque ca aurait retarde l'obtention de ma citoyenete.
any way je vous souhaite un denouement rapide a toutes vos histoires, mais que ca vous serve de lecon a vous aussi, j'ai tres honte de ce que j'ai fais, mais jamais je ne le refrai, jamais.
bonjour, étant dans le même cas que vous (auparavant), après avoir commis un vol à l'étalage, que je regrette sincèrement.. j'ai quelques questions à vous poser. Je vis actuellement à Montréal, je suis étudiant à temps plein.
J'ai reçu une date de comparution à la cours (poursuites criminelles), cependant j'ai reçu une lettre des avocats du magasin me réclamant 500$ de dommages et intérêts, il est noté que si je ne payais pas, je serai poursuivi au civil pour qu'ils obtiennent cet argent, alors que dois-je faire?? les payer?
Je n'ai toujours pas d'avocat, ma date de comparution est dans un mois, je ne sais pas quoi faire...
en vous remerciant
Si tu as peux de ressources financières , tu peux avoir droit a un avocat de l'aide juridique sans frais . A Montréal c'est au palais de justice , rue St-Antoine coin St-Laurent . Métro Champ de mars ou Place d'armes.
La poursuite au civil de $500 ! Si tu vas en cour et que tu perds , tu devras payer le $500 ou ce que le juge accordera à la victime . Peut-être moins de $500 aussi . Sûrement pas plus.
Le commerçant qui te poursuit bluffe sans doute un peu car son avocat en cour va lui coûter au moins $500. Donc il ne fera pas un sous. Tu peux sans doute négocier ce montant à la baisse .
Mais vas consulter auparavant un avocat de l'aide juridique gratuitement . Par contre je ne sais pas comment ça fonctionne . A toi de voir .
Tu as présentement une poursuite au criminel, tu n'as pas le choix de comparaître. Oui, il te faut un avocat.
Pour le paiement de l'amende, je doute que le magasin te poursuive au civil pour 500$ seulement, car faire une poursuite au civil coûte de l'argent (ouvrir le dossier, s'absenter pendant une journée de travail, au final le commerçant va perdre sa journée de salaire pour récupèrer 500$, en plus un verdict en sa faveur l'oblige quand même à entreprendre des démarches pour se faire payer car la cour des petites créances donnent les jugements mais ne les exécutent pas!), si j'étais toi j'essayerai de négocier l'amende en échange de laisser tomber les poursuites au criminel.
Important à savoir: si tu n'es pas citoyen canadien, tu peux être renvoyé du Canada pour cette infraction selon la Loi de l'immigration...

Hi everyone,
I have to leave for Perth, Australia in a week, for 7 days, and I couldn’t get my international driver’s permit due to processing and delivery delays.
The information I’ve found about whether an international permit is required is contradictory. Some sources say you need one, others say you don’t.
Could anyone let me know if an international driver’s permit is necessary to rent a car in Australia (Perth), or if a French license is enough for a 7-day rental?
hi everyone,
I need to apply for a new eTA for Canada.
do I need the number from my old eTA or not?
because I can’t find my old eTA number anymore.
thanks for your replies, have a great weekend
Hi there,
I know there are similar topics here and elsewhere, but they’re a few years old, and I need an up-to-date answer to make sure I don’t throw over 1000 € out the window. Thanks for your patience.
I’m planning a trip from France to Alberta/British Columbia, and I’m unsure about which bank card to use for the security deposit with the rental company (I’m thinking of going with AVIS).
I contacted Avis Canada, and they told me a credit card is absolutely required. I asked my bank for a credit card (a *real* credit card), but they only offered me a deferred debit card.
My question: For a rental with Avis Canada, is a Gold International Mastercard deferred debit card usable for the security deposit needed to finalize the rental? Is the "CREDIT" label enough? (Some cards say "CREDIT" and others say "CARTE DE CREDIT"—seems minor, but it’s actually a big deal in how the card works.)
I’ve seen conflicting info everywhere I look... My bank says it’s *usually* okay (the deferred debit card), while Avis Canada insists it *must* be a credit card, not debit—even when I mention the deferred debit card.
I know the whole credit card concept is already confusing, and on top of that, some sites say a deferred debit card counts as a credit card, while others say it doesn’t.
Thanks to anyone who can share a recent experience!
Have a great day
Hello everyone,
Could a resident of Benin (Cotonou) kindly let me know which is the best mobile phone and internet service provider?
Thank you very much,

Hi,
I’m bringing Seresta, an anxiolytic (tranquilizer) from the benzodiazepine family,
to help me sleep.
I’ll have the prescription with me.
Will this be a problem at customs, and do I need to declare it?
Same question for antibiotics?
Thanks a bunch!
Hi everyone,
I’ll explain my situation.
Unfortunately, I lost my passport, and I only realized it two weeks before my departure for a humanitarian mission in Libya. I’m a nurse, and this mission really means a lot to me.
First, I applied for an emergency passport, but it was denied by the Val-d'Oise prefecture on the grounds that a planned humanitarian mission wasn’t considered an urgent reason.
So, I submitted a biometric passport application on July 20th. Since then, the tracking has been stuck, and the town hall can’t (or won’t) give me any clear information. Every time I call, I get a different story. The last update I received was that the passport had been produced since July 23rd with a status of "about to be shipped," but nothing since then.
I’ve managed to push my departure back to next Tuesday at the latest, but I’m starting to really panic.
Have any of you submitted an application around July 20th, especially in Val-d'Oise (95)? How long did you wait between the passport being produced and it being available at the town hall? Is it normal for this step to take this long?
This mission means so much to me. I had everything organized, and I’m also supposed to attend a friend’s wedding right after near the border.
Thanks so much to those who take the time to respond or share their experience. 😔
Can anyone tell me exactly if a passport "valid for the duration of the stay" is enough, or does it need to be valid for 6 months after the trip?
I checked the embassy’s website, but that info is missing.
Hi there,
I’ll be arriving in Seoul on November 18th after spending about a month in India.
Do you know if I’ll need to fill out any additional documents besides the e-arrival card?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
I’m a bit embarrassed because I need to travel to Quebec from February 27th to March 13th. I’m a regular visitor to Canada—this will be my 10th trip since 1997, plus a year as a permanent resident (2000–2001) and a cross-country run from Vancouver to Halifax in 2011. So, I’m definitely not a terrorist!
But since our last trip in July 2015, they’ve introduced this eTA thing. Seems more like a way to make money than to actually secure Canada, if you ask me, but anyway, that’s not the point.
I applied for an eTA for myself, my wife, and our two kids. They all got approved within hours, but not me! I was asked to create a GC key and then an IRCC account, which I did. Normally, you get news within 72 hours, but since Monday, January 15th, nothing!
In the "message" section of the account, it says "explanation letter (required)" with a deadline of January 25th, but I can’t find any explanation anywhere—despite searching the Canadian government website and Google. No links, nothing!
I’ve emailed them but haven’t heard back yet. I’m thinking of calling the Canadian embassy in Paris tomorrow. Even though I’m not stressing yet, it’d be a bummer if everyone else got to go without me!
If anyone’s had this issue before or knows what this explanation letter is about, I’d love to hear more.
hi there
I’m heading to Seoul in September, and to do that I need to get a travel authorization that we apply for through K-ETA....... turns out I can (barely, I admit) fill out the form up to the address of our "stay location," but every address I’ve entered has been rejected by the system. I’ve tried my hotel, the Lotte Hotel (which is well-known in Seoul), the airport—basically, I’ve entered at least 20 addresses, all rejected....
So, to anyone who’s successfully gotten the authorization, could you tell me which address you used to get that "elusive" approval?...
Question for those who’ve done it:
In theory (French national), I’m visa-exempt for a 30-day tourist stay, but on France Diplomatie it says on this page
Hi there,
I’m heading to Senegal in January for a month and was wondering if I just need my French driver’s license or if I should get an international permit?
Thanks!

I’m heading to Laos next spring, but I have a question about the Thai arrival/departure form. I’ll be flying PAR-BKK, then taking the train to Laos (so exiting Thailand), and later re-entering Thailand by train to catch my return flight. Do I need to fill out two forms in this case?
Hi there,
I have a 9-seater passenger vehicle that I use for my business in Paris, transporting people.
I’m planning to go to Algeria with my family.
The vehicle registration lists my company as the owner.
Can I get a TPD (Temporary Admission Document)?
Will I need a KBis extract or a power of attorney?!?
Thanks for your help.
Worst case, I can add my personal name as a co-owner on the registration, but that would be a real shame!
Hi,
I’m writing to ask for some info—I’ve heard that you **must** have travel insurance to land in Zanzibar.
What’s the process, and which insurance should I get?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Best,

Hi, are there any travelers who’ve recently crossed the border between Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan) and Beineu in Kazakhstan?
It was closed for a while.
Thanks for any info!
I bought a one-way flight (Ryanair) and a return flight (EasyJet) to spend a week in Morocco in April.
My passport expires 3 weeks after the return date.
Some websites say the passport must be valid for 3 months at the time of entry.
However, it will still be valid both on entry and return, but its validity will only be 1 month at the time of entry (and 3 weeks on the return date, everything prepaid).
It's an individual family trip.
The consulate can't give me an answer—they're still looking into it (really!)
Last year, we stayed for 3 months in Thailand, north of Khao Lak, and were able to benefit from the 2-month visa exemption, renewable for one month by going to Takua Pa to validate a 1-month extension (1,900 baht).
This year, it’s a disaster for us—not only were we planning a 4-month stay, adding a visa run in between (which some say is quite risky), but the law is apparently changing in the coming months with the return of the 1-month exemption (plus the usual 1-month option). So, we looked into applying for a 6-month multiple-entry visa, allowing a maximum of 60 consecutive days in Thailand. However, I can’t find anywhere the minimum time required outside Thailand between two stays—do any of you have an idea?
Thanks for the info! If you’d like tips on Khao Lak and the surrounding areas, we’ve got some experience, though things change fast!
Cheers,
Bruno.
My partner, our 8-year-old daughter, and I are going on vacation to Gex.
We’ve decided to spend one day in Switzerland and another in Italy. Will we need ID (national ID card or passport)? Do we also need ID for our daughter?
Hello,
We’ll soon be moving to Madagascar long-term.
As a French national, I need to obtain a short-stay visa that can be converted to a long-stay one. To do this, I have to send the required documents to the Madagascar embassy in Paris.
No issues with that procedure so far.
If I get this visa, once I arrive in Madagascar, I’ll need to provide the same documents to the Ministry of the Interior in Anosy. I’m trying to find an email address or website for the Ministry to check which documents I need to submit (I think they ask for additional ones).
If you have any info on this, I’d appreciate your replies.
Best regards,
M. Buisson Eric
I’d like to know if anyone has already applied for a private visa to Russia with an invitation from a Russian resident.
I traveled earlier this year with an e-visa, but since I want to stay longer, I’ll be visiting my friend who lives in eastern Russia.
For the visa application, does the invitation need to be on an official paper form issued by the Russian ministry? And most importantly, do I need to present the original for the application, or is there an electronic version that can be sent directly to the consulate in France?
Thanks for any info if you’ve gone through this process before!
I filled out the B2 form to apply for a visa, created an account on Atvis to pay the visa fees and schedule a meet-up, but every time I try to pay with my Boursobank Visa 1st card, they refuse the payment with a message telling me to check my details (address), even though everything is correct. Does anyone know why this is happening, or maybe they don’t accept Visa cards? Are you aware of this?
Thanks for your feedback!
Elisabeth
There are rumors going around about the ETA: it must absolutely be on your smartphone in the "ETA" app.
Paper documents might not be accepted.
Is this real or just a hoax?
Thanks, I’m leaving in 3 weeks. My passport is good to go and my ETA is still valid for a year, but I only printed the email I received.
Thanks everyone.
Hi there,
We need to apply for a B2 visa because we visited Iran in 2018. It currently costs $185, but they’re planning an additional $250 fee per person for the same visa—it’s been approved but not yet implemented. Does anyone know when this fee will take effect?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
In November, we're heading off on a 4-month trip. We'll be landing in China and plan to leave the country via a land border into Vietnam.
I’ve read that China may ask for proof of exit within 30 days (flight ticket or other reservation). Since we’d be leaving by land, I’m wondering how this works in practice.
Has anyone here been in this situation recently?
Did the airline ask for an exit ticket before boarding?
Did Chinese authorities require proof upon arrival?
Is a train/bus ticket to Vietnam sufficient?
Is a cancelable or flexible reservation accepted?
Hi there,
Just a question that’s probably been asked before (though usually the other way around for my situation :))
My wife and I are heading to the US.
On her ticket, it only has her maiden name (e.g., Martine DUPOND).
On her passport, it’s written as Martine DUPOND épouse AVRY.
No issues for travel, I hope I did the right thing with the ticket?
Then for the ESTA, is just Martine DUPOND enough, or do I need to include the "épouse AVRY" part like on the passport?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m spending a few days in San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) and would like to cross the Argentine border to make a loop toward Salta and then return to Chile to drop off the rental car.
I’ve heard that crossing the border can be tricky!
Is it possible with a rental company’s authorization? Which company, and at what cost?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Best regards,
Arnale
I saw on the French Embassy in Peru’s website and the Peruvian Consulate in Paris’s site that the rule is to have a passport valid for 6 months *after the arrival date* (not the return date).
I arrive in Peru on August 13, 2019 (for about twelve days), and my passport is valid until February 16, 2020.
That’s 6 months and 3 days after my arrival date in Peru. In my opinion, I’m good to go.
But could I still be denied entry if they say I don’t cover the return date or that I’m too close to the 6-month mark?
I read on the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs website that it’s possible to apply for a temporary driving permit in China, valid for 1 month.
I’m planning to rent a car (without a driver) to explore part of the country next August, so I was wondering:
Has anyone here already gone through this process upon arrival?
How long do the formalities take on the spot?
Is it possible to handle these steps in advance, before arriving in China?
