Subject: Help!!! Please someone......i have criminal record
 
Please can someone figure out if they’ll let me stay? What are my chances?
I am writing this letter to give you and any relevant authorities an indication of my desperate need and the importance of myself and my children remaining in Canada.
I’m not really sure where to start my letter but I feel I need to express certain things to give a good understanding of my life’s history and events associated with any criminal activities to which I am now truly paying a price!
I will try and keep my letter as brief as possible.
I would like to start by giving you a brief description of my upbringing. I just want to give you some indication of things that have occurred in my life that have leaded me to make some bad decisions.
There’s me and my twin sister Kelly who were brought up my father, my mother left when were 8 years old, myself and my sister don’t have many fond memories of my mother as she caused us a considerable amount of stress in our childhood. When my mum left it meant my dad had to provide for us on his own (my mum never worked anyway!) so there wasn’t much difference other than my dad then had to pay for babysitters every night that he worked.
My dad worked nights our whole young life, he worked 6 – 7 nights a week and was always struggling financially to provide for us; however he always put food on the plate.
My dad worked very hard to try and give us a good up-bringing and in the process he suffered 3 major heart attacks up until we were the age of 15, we watched the only family member who cared for us nearly taken away many times!
I remember my dad trying so hard physically to love and provide for us but verbally I think my dad told me he loved me maybe 3 times my whole life.
In my young life we moved quite a few times but we always adjusted after a while, I have many fond memories and also many sad difficult memories.
When I left school in 1997 I made the decision to look for work straight away so that I could start helping my dad pay the rent and the bills, he had worked so hard over the years that I felt I needed to re-pay him and help out a little, I just couldn’t watch him suffer anymore and I knew I could help. I watched my dad suffer because of money problems our whole life until he sadly passed away in April 2008.
I got a job that I really enjoyed, I met a boy and my life finally started to make some sense! I went through the normal process of growing up I worked, going out and I had a good girlfriend whom I cherished.
When I was in school I didn’t have many good friends and when I look back it wasn’t a great time in my life either, my dad couldn’t afford to buy the trendy school uniforms and clothes and school kids can be pretty mean!!

When I was 21 I decided to do some travelling and went to Florida for a few months where I met Mark Lennard (he is now my ex-partner) and my first Canadian connection as he is from Quebec, we dated for nearly 3 years before we decided to get married (in England - June 3rd 2005) and have a baby (Suzi Lennard).
This relationship was my first serious and I loved Mark dearly but when I look back at that relationship I don’t know why because he treated me so bad.
Mark and I met in Florida in November 2002 and spent one great year together (that should have been it)! In October 2003 i decided to return back to England and Mark decided to come back with me to make a life there. I returned home because I missed my home comforts and I missed the one person in my life that meant the world to me (my dad). I knew it was the best thing to do I needed to start a proper job and start saving some money to try and make a future.
When I came back to England I moved back in with my dad, me Mark and my dad shared an apartment which started from October 2003 until October 2005, my dad moved out after the baby was born into a smaller place that he could afford on his own. Mark picked on my dad a lot throughout that few years we lived together and this put a lot of strain on my feelings for him (Mark).
Mark mentally abused me and my father, Mark never really made any money to contribute to the daily living costs and wasn’t consistent with his work. Mark drank a lot and he never really spent any time with me or our little girl Suzi (Suzi was born in august 2005 in England).
I received constant criticism from him and nothing was ever good enough, I never got a thank you for anything I did.
I remembered my dad suffered heart failure this was just before Suzi was born and I was so scared of losing him, I was more upset than I had ever been my whole life, I never felt that way before, I needed somebody so desperately (my husband) to comfort me and Mark went to the pub and left me alone, I think that night I truly fell out of love with him.
Mark had many problems of his own and had spent a life time struggling to control his drinking and I felt bad for him and I think that is the only reason why I stayed with him plus he had used my credit cards to pay for things and had got me seriously into debt, I was emotionally scared and I never had any money.
My Little girl Suzi was born in august 2005 we had just got married in the June of that year, I always tried to make excuses for Mark and make it work but it didn’t matter how hard I tired he was never happy with what he had and he never played the role of a supporting husband!
Mark never gave me any money and I was always struggling to pay the rent, I was getting seriously into debt and I was in an emotionally abusive relationship, I was very depressed and I was on medication for nearly two years. I tried to take my own life as I felt at the time that I had nothing to live for I couldn’t even support my own daughter. I thought that she would be better in the care of my sister than her own mother, I had been made to feel worthless by my husband, and I didn’t think that life could get any worse!
I stole things a year or so after my daughter was born, I didn’t have the money to pay for the things I needed so I would steal food and clothes for me and my little girl, I did this on a few occasions throughout the years and subsequently got caught out.
I was found to be stealing on a few occasions in the past 4 years of which at the time I feel I had no control over, I was very unhappy and I needed to provide for my family or use the little money that I had to pay for the bills etc. I have 3 theft charges on my (uk) record and 1 breech of condition charge!
The only way I can describe to you how I felt is that I was worthless, I had no reason to be alive except to look after my little girl. I never thought I could go anywhere again or do anything with my life, I was in a terrible rut and I couldn’t see a way out, I never realised that what I was doing would eventually ruin the family that I have now and that I have always dreamed of!
I gave up work 2 weeks before Suzi was born in august 2005, I was on maternity leave for a considerable amount of time before I realised that things where never going to change, I decided to return to work so that I could start making money again.
I had a few jobs that didn’t really suit me for one reason or another and then in may/June 2007 I started working for a company called Martins (Accountancy).
When I started working for Martins I met a guy called Larry Smith, we started spending a lot of time together and became very close. Larry made me happy again, we would go out and he would treat me like a special person and we embarked on a romance that lasted until April 2008.
Me and Larry met in may 2007 at my new job Martins and at this time I was not living with Mark anymore, it was one of the many times that I had asked him to leave, we had separated at least 5 times in our relationship.
In august 2007 Mark decided that he was going to move back to his hometown and back to Canada, he said he wanted to make a fresh start with his family and friends around for support, he said that he would be different and that we could try and make it work between us, I was so happy, I thought ‘just maybe’ we might be able to make it work for the sake of our daughter, she had already been through so much in her baby life and I wanted to try for her.
I moved to Quebec with Mark in August 2007, ended my short relationship with Larry in the hope that I was making the right decision and that Mark had changed in the time that we had been separated.
I spent 3 months in Quebec, some of the worst months of my life, 3 months of almost solitary confinement, I don’t drive and I had no way of going in to town we lived in the Laurentien and far from anywhere, Mark never took me out once, all those promises of a new life and a supportive loving husband where lies – nothing had changed!! He was very mean and emotionally abusive towards me the whole time.
I managed to get out one day; I got a taxi into town and ended up making that terrible mistake where I stole from a shop. I wish I could take back what I did! After I spoke with the police I decided to go back to the store and apologise for what I had done, I borrowed money and I paid for the item I stole. I was very depressed and I contacted Larry, he said if I wanted to come home that he would pay (he knew I had no savings or no access to money) he said he missed me and that he wanted to start a proper relationship with me and that he knew what I had been though.
I returned to England in November 2007 to start all over again but when I had moved to Canada I gave so much up, all my furniture so many of my personnel belongings that Mark said he would replace ‘ “start a new life” he said. When I returned I got a job in the December, the wage wasn’t great and I had to pay for child care for my little girl and taxis as well, as the train schedule wasn’t compatible with my working hours and Suzi’s dropping off time, I was barely making ends meat again!!
I was trying to rebuild my life ‘again’ but still I never had any money! I started seeing Larry a lot more, he would spend time with me and my daughter, there was so much that happened in this relationship, so many broken promises that followed! I had come out of one relationship into another that I thought had a future but found out that it was all lies and that Larry had been lying to me the whole time. I confided in him, told him about my life and all my problems – I thought he cared about me... he told me he loved me and wanted to help me and it was all lies!

My Dad had only met Larry once before and I could tell my dad didn’t really like him! My dad told me that he knew of Larry and that he was lying to me, my dad told me that he had seen him in the pub with another woman. I confronted Larry about this and he said that it was his friend and that ‘was it’ and that I should believe him (he had never given me any reason not to!). In the end I eventually found out that this was in fact his wife!!! And he’d been married all along. I was heartbroken again!
The night that I found out I went round to his house to confront him and he wasn’t there, things started to make sense like ‘why’ I was never allowed to go to his house or call him after a certain time, I was so angry and out of anger I through a plant pot through his kitchen window.
I later found out that he had come home and had ended up admitting everything to his wife; I know that because she called the police and Larry called me and asked if I had done it. The police told me what had happened and even though Larry didn’t want to press charges it wasn’t up to him and they had to lay some punishment. I wanted to explain this situation as this is obviously another default against my name. I remember when they were interviewing me at the police station that they didn’t condemn my behaviour at throwing a plant pot but understood my anger, unfortunately there was nothing they could do about the penalty against me and that it was a consequence to my actions! I understand this and I wish I had the knowledge and patience that I have now, to have enabled me to make a better decision.

After all that had happened Larry came to my home and tried to make amends, he told me that he was sorry and that he loved me and that he wanted to try and sort things out. We had a huge argument in the hallway of the home that I shared with my father. It was the 31st of April 2008, that was the night Larry came round to try and apologise for what he had done, we were arguing when my dad returned home. My dad knew about most of what happened and had seen me depressed for years because of my relationship with Mark.
My dad had seen my relationship end with Mark but for what another bad relationship with a man who was twice my age and who was lying to me all the time!
That night my dad returned home to us arguing in the hallway, my dad came in the house and shouted at Larry to leave; my dad suffered a massive heart attack and died in front of my eyes a few minutes later. I know how much my dad loved me and he was so angry about this man who was deceiving me, all my dad wanted was for me to make a good life for myself and Suzi.
I let my dad down because I wouldn’t listen to him and I let him down because I used to steal. I can’t ever take back those past mistakes; I have only proved that they are not a part of my future.
I truly thought that my life had ended that night and for many months to come I was very depressed, I felt like I had no-one, I was struggling to bring up my own daughter because I had no money, I gave up work because I couldn’t cope, everyday was a struggle for me to even get out of bed.
What I’m trying to say is that my whole life has been a struggle. I watched my dad suffer my whole life trying to pay the bills and rent and then I choose to start work rather than go to ‘college and make a career for myself’ and then I ended up getting in a relationship that caused me years of emotionally challenging events. I ended up stealing sometimes because I needed to provide and I was not in touch with the real life consequences of what I was doing, I was living solely in the moment as I didn’t think I had a future.
After my dad died it was 8 months that I had been separated from Mark so I ended up calling him, ‘why I felt I couldn’t try and cope on my own’ ‘I’ll never know’ I believe things happen for a reason and if I hadn’t have contacted him I would never have come back to Canada and then subsequently never have met Jim!

Mark came back to England in may 2008 and helped me with my dad’s funeral, he asked me if I wanted to go back to Canada and try and make a life for Suzi, she had not seem her dad for 8 months and this was starting to effect her emotionally – at the time I thought it was the best thing to do. Everything around me in my home town reminded me of my dad and just after he died I had tried to take my own life again (it was only because Mark came in my room that night that I’m still here!) I thank him for that because what I have now I could have never dreamed of having in those dreadful months.
The last time I saw my dad was the resting chapel before we buried him and I made him a promise that I would be the best mum possible and that I would never steal again, I have kept this promise to this day and it’s been nearly 2 years since I did this. I asked him to help me and to try and find me my life!
I returned to Canada in June 2008 and the usual life with Mark returned soon after but now I didn’t even have my dad to talk to, I truly felt there was no point. I started drinking which would take the pain away, I was never a big drinker and I couldn’t really handle my alcohol. This drinking went on for several months!
I met a girl who I started to hang out with, she asked me one night if I wanted to go to a party (July 2008) and it was that night that I met Jim (“““““““““““““““““““““).
After that night me and Jim started to spend a lot of time together, I was very fond of him he was different to anyone else I’d met we had a connection that was so unusual to me. My relationship with Mark was no longer any kind of relationship but an abusive one. One night just before it ended between us we’d been having a row so I went out, I called jim and he took me to Banff, where I drank myself into a mess, the police were called and they took me to the ‘drunken tank’ where I spent the night. They had a condition that I wasn’t to drink. Mark was well aware of this and the night before I left him for good (in September 2008) I had one glass of wine to calm my nerves and he called the police on me... this resulted in a ‘breech of conditions’ which is stated on my Canadian record check.
I have admitted to you to the best of my ability the truth about my previous criminal activity and I have tried to give you as much information to support any reason for which my actions were made. I can’t stress to you enough the importance of my next statement, when I was in Banff and I was taken to the ‘drunk tank’ I had my personal belonging taken from me where they searched any property I had to which they found a cannabis cigarette in a packet of smokes. This was not mine and I tried and tried to explain my situation to the police but they couldn’t do anything. I borrowed the cigarettes from someone in fact they said it was there last one, all of this is heresy to anybody who reads this but to me it’s the truth and it doesn’t help me with my case!
My Life since I met jim at the end of July 2008 has been a blessing for which I thank god every day. We moved in together in September 2008 and I have sense of comfort every day, that aching feeling that I had before has gone away!

We have a little house where we live in Calgary. My life now is what I have always wanted, I have a loving fiancée a beautiful young daughter and we just had little girl of our own ‘Jenny Summer “““““““““““““““““““““’ who was born in Canada on the 5th October 2009. My life right now is stable, I don’t worry about money anymore, jim teaches me things every day, ways to save money, and I’m just a normal girl with a future who has now built a stable environment for my little girls.
I finally have a future to look forward to; I have never had this before!
I want to write about Suzi my oldest daughter who has Canadian citizenship. Suzi has been though a considerable amount of changes in her short life so far and I want to try and explain some of this to you.
Suzi was born in England in august 2005 she spent the first 2 and half years of her life being brought up by me and my father. Mark (her father) spent most of his time in the pub or sleeping and as I have advised there were a few occasions where I had asked him to leave the family home. She never really spent any time with her father until she moved to Alberta in June of 2008.
After I left Mark in September 2008, Suzi spent 1 month living with him solely, I couldn’t take Suzi as I didn’t have a family home and I didn’t want to move her yet again, so she stayed with her father until she came back to live with me ‘half the week’ from the October 2008 and then ‘full –time’ again in march of 2009. So she spent time with me and Mark in two separate homes and was building up a relationship with her father.
Mark then moved to another house just outside of ‘Place’ AB and I and jim got a bigger apartment in ‘Place’ AB. This resulted in Suzi having to adjust again to new surroundings; we stayed at our apartment until august of last year until we moved to Calgary for jim to find a better job.
Mark also moved to Edmonton in June of last year and stayed there for 6 months, he returned on several occasions to see Suzi but obviously stayed in hotels with her when he visited. He decided to move to Calgary in November of 2009 to be close to her again
Suzi has moved 8 times since she was born, so that’s 8 different bedrooms!! My dad’s sudden death would have had some effect on her as she saw him nearly every day for the first 2 half years of her life except the short stay in Québec (august 2007 to November 2007).
Mark her father has made a considerable amount of effort in the past years to be close to Suzi and to try and make a mends for his past neglect, I would like my daughter to be able to carry on her relationship with her father while growing up and especially at this crucial point in her life where she is very aware of her surroundings, I can’t imagine the effect it would have on her little mind to have to leave her father again and take her back to England and start over.
At this present time Suzi has built a relationship with Jim (“““““““““““““““““““““) who is like a father to her, she has spent the past year and a half getting to know and love him and I just can’t imagine the effect that it would have on her to leave the family unit she has been accustomed to at this crucial stage in her life and development.
She is 4 years and 5 months old and she has only just started to have a stable outlook to her life, it’s been consistent for the past year or so. If we were to break this family bond and home that she has I think it would cause detrimental effect on her life.

I and jim have discussed the possibility of me returning to England and in doing so would result in the family that we have and I have always wanted being torn apart!
I and jim have discussed who would take Jenny and we can’t seem to come to a decision this is something that we are trying to sort out at this present time.
As Jenny is a Canadian born citizen, to have to take her away from her Canadian father, family and all the healthcare that she is entited to would be detrimental to her development also. Retuning to England with no money and a Canadian born child means that she is not automatically entitled to the healthcare she needs and I would have to fill out ‘mounts of paper work’ and apply for British citizenship for her before she would be entitled to anything, this takes a lot of time as I had to undergo the process here with Suzi whom now has Canadian citizenship. The process alone takes months and having to deal with all of this with a new born child, with no-income of my own would cause a lot of stress to my family.

The only person who is not a Canadian citizen is I and because of my past criminal activity my whole family is being punished! I wish I could go back and take the things that I have done away, I would do anything to make amends and I have suffered years of guilt because of it, I feel I have truly paid a price. The past few months having to deal with this have been very traumatic for me and my family and the fact that we may have to separate could cause irreparable damage.
Jenny is my new born baby and I can’t imagine having to be away from her but taking her with me and no even knowing where we will end up is irresponsible, I don’t know where I will live and even if I can find a place, how will I be able to pay for the rent on my own, if I work all my money will go towards child care, I won’t be able to afford to look after my children if I leave Canada, I believe my life will be unbearable again!
I realise all of this is a result of my previous criminal record but I was punished already for this in the u.k and suffered with years of guilt, I finally have a family and a stable life that I have always dreamed of and all this could be taken away if I have to leave Canada and my home life!
I don’t want to separate my family, to have to take my daughters away from their father or to have to leave my new born baby without a mother! I would also be separating my daughters and this in itself would be a disaster for their future relationship.

When I left England in June 2008 I didn’t really have any expectations, I had left England because the one person who loved me, my best friend had died (my dad) I had to make a new life for my little girl who had entitlement to be in her country (Canada) and give her a chance at a good life, I didn’t want her to grow up seeing me depressed, even when I arrived in Canada I was unhappy because my dad had just died and I was still in the horrible relationship!
I was given a chance, I met a good man and to this day he is still as good as he was the day I met him, when I met jim he started to help me, he realised that I was on the road to self destruction........ I couldn’t see any future.
Apart from my dad and my sister I never had anyone who ever truly cared about me and when I met jim it changed me! I don’t cry anymore at night or wake up in the night crying. I feel happy inside and my family is getting by on a normal everyday budget and I don’t steal because I know it’s wrong and most of all I’m happy, I don’t need material things to make me happy or to cope because I have something I never had before ‘someone who tells me they love me everyday’. Jim provides for our family and Mark pays maintenance finally! I don’t have the worries that I used to have on a daily basis – my whole life!!!
I look back in my life and I can’t believe that I did those things, I can’t believe that I ever stole, I never want to go back to that ever, even if you don’t have the things you need ‘that’s o.k.’ because so many other people can’t afford everything they want or need but they cope!!. It’s the coping that I couldn’t do before and I think that’s because I had no one to support me, no –one who said they loved me, it was a life that I have left behind. I can’t take back what I did in the past but I’ve been making it right for the future and I can prove to you that this is not a part of my life anymore.
I don’t want to be punished anymore for things I did in the past, I suffered a lot of guilt and that hurt enough!!! I don’t want my family to be separated or punished for what I had done in the past.
I am hoping that in writing this letter and the fact that I have tried to give you as much information as possible ‘that you could make the best decision for my entire family, My children are the most important now and I don’t want their life to ‘start’ like mine once did, they need stability and both parents to care for them!
I’m 28 years old and I finally have a reason to be here, I never felt I had a reason before! I have a family and I have a future to look forward to if I am allowed to stay.
If I was sent back to England, then obviously this is what I would have to do but I would have to start all over again even if it was for 6 months I still have to set up everything again with no starting point!!, I don’t even have a crib for my newborn daughter and I don’t know what will be the end result of the family I tried so hard to make.
I don’t know what else to write other than I am sorry for the mistakes I have made and that I will never make these mistakes again.

I would love the chance to be able to stay in Canada and have my family stay together.

Yours sincerely

Mary Lennard (Foster)

this is my life and i wanted to give an account of my actions so someone out there could determine a probable answer or who may have an idea what immigration will say to me!

i may possibly be deported and i´m scared for my family, the last part oF the letter describes my family etc.

10 MINUTES IS ALL IT TAKES TO READ THE ENTIRE MAIL!!!

"I am hoping that in writing this letter and the fact that I have tried to give you as much information as possible ‘that you could make the best decision for my entire family, "

It will be longer than 6 months.

You have a record of theft.
Involvement with the police here in Canada, possible a record for domestic violence or assault (throwing things)
and to top it all off it appears here illegally.

If you want a chance at a good life for your children it is time to grow up, hire a good representative and be prepared to spend some time away from everyone as I am sure you do not want to move your children again.
It is your decisions that have you where are at, at this time and while it is painful and the appears to be a long messy road ahead it is time to get started.

Do not expect people to be all nice about this.. and you just insulted probably one of a handful of people who could "possibly" get you straight without leaving.

I am not sure if you are a citizen of UK but if you are, it doesn´t make sense how or why you see Canada as a place with greater opportunities! Canada is a far worse economy than Britain. I am also not sure who the guy you are with now; if he is also a UK citizen, why not both of you try to make a life in UK than here? Your exact situation as far as immigration goes is also not clear to me; Roy has got some ladies with kids to stay in Canada thru immigration appeals and then got them to secure their PR card. Maybe he can help you in some ways. In any case, I hope things will work out for you for better.

Mary,
Although your story is very compelling and interesting, I´d respectfully suggest that few people would have the time or inclination to go over your detailed life history as your describe here (unless you hire a lawyer who´s paid to listen). As it´s not clear to me, you have to decide if you´re looking for advice about immigration requirements or about personal life decisions.

If you contact CIC, they too would likely only be interested in what questions/concerns you have with immigration law, facts, and requirements, not what relationships, dissapointments, worries, or personal turmoils you´ve had.

If you want clear and concise answers to your immigration concerns, you too must be clear and concise in what you´re looking for. You have to leave the personal and emotional diary out of the equation. No one can decide and manage personal issues except yourself. And most people also have personal worries, including CIC officers, and they´re generaly not going to be all that sympethetic to an applicant´s long litany of personal travails.

So please shorten your story (if you must include one) to the facts as directly relevant to your immigration issues and concerns. I think you´ll find you´ll have much greater success in getting the answers you need that way.

Short Story (in reply to: Help!!! Please someone......i have criminal record)
Hi,

Thank you very much for all your messages.

The reasoning behind myself wanting to stay in canada is because my fionce is canadian and this is where he wants to spend his life. I have 1 daughter from a previous marriage and her father is a canadian. Obvioulsy i want my daughters to be able to be able to grow up with there fathers, my two girls live with me and my fionce. One daughter is 4 and the other is a newborn (4 months old).

i am fully aware that the problems i am having with immigration are my own fault (100%) and i dont really have anything in my defence other than i wasn´t mentally stable at the time. i also want to say that what i did was theft (all though 100% wrong) i never hurt anyone and i have done many good things my whole life, no of which will be taken in to concideration, and why should they! i know!

i am well aware this is all my fault, right now i am looking for a solution to keep my family togther. i have a new born daughter, that if i am sent back to england will be seperated from her father that has done nothing wrong!

i have a candian criminal record which is from august 2008 (my father died in the april 2008) and i was found to be drunk in a public place! i was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. i believe that there are people that get alot more drunk than that everyday with no excuses, they just dont get caught because they are in there own home or can handle there alhohol. i didn´t do anything wrong except drink to much and i got arrested for it!

i am not excusing my self, i was drunk in a public place and i paid the price for it.....but what i am asking is there anything that i can do to stop me from going back to england beacuse of it.

i dont have a problem with england, its not that i dont want to live there, its that i have have a life here now (canada) and i have two candian children whos fathers are bothe canadian.

my previous marriage did not work out because of money problems and abuse.

if i have to leave canada both my children will have to leave there fathers!

does anyone know what immigration will do with me, i´m a lost cause will no hope!, will they deport me straight away?

In the case of both of your children are Canadian citizens you may apply under Humanitarian and Compasionate case.
Now..Before you do anything you have to familiarize with this:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/5312E.PDF

And then:
www.cic.gc.ca

And then:
Find a qualified Immigration consultant who is experienced enough dealing with this type of situations.

The fact that your ex-husband is a Canadian citizen, again.... means nothing!

There are two sides here:
1- You have and you meet all the requirements to be deported at this point.

a)I don´t know what your status is.. but I am going to assume that you ran out of status.
b) At this point you are inadmissible due to a criminal record.
c) Have you been ordered to leave Canada?

2- Do something about this before it´s too late you might be able to put your live together. It´s not going to be easy and you may or may not would have to leave Canada and come back.

Keep in mind that the fact that both of your kids are Canadian citizens WILL NOT prevent your deportation.

Put your effort into "look" for an answer not pitty.
You are not in the driver´s seat at this time.
