Question

I have a Criminal Damage caution from 2002 on my CRB. Will this hamper my application to emigrate to Australia

Answer 1

Assuming you haven't kept quiet about it, which would be a definite "No way, mate", they reserve the right to accept or reject any application, so the answer is - it depends on whether you're offering them enough skills and good things for them to ignore it.

You were born a few hundred years too late - otherwise they'd have sent you over for nothing :-)

Answer 2

What country are you from as I am not familiar with what a criminal damage caution is or how severe a charge it is according to your country's legal system. In general terms you can be refused a visa and say you decided not to tell them on your application and you got your visa you could still be refused entry when you got here. Have a look at the following immigration department webpage:

Have you started your application yet and if so what type of visa are you applying for? If you are confused send me a message.

Answer 3

shouldnt think so

Answer 4

A caution will not affect your application.  It's not a conviction.

You need not even declare it on your application.

Answer 5

along you tell them the truth and dont lie about it when you apply for a visa. you wiil be fine.
