Criminal Record Check and another issue...

[Ritarunks 8]

Hello,

 

First time posting here. We were DQ'd Jan 14, 2020. Paid Boundless for immigration services. My Canadian criminal record check with fingerprints is dated Nov 25, 2020. Is this only good for a year? 

 

Another issue. My husband started an entry level position with Local 46 (Kent, WA) to pursue the electrician trade. He took a personal leave from his current job until December as he pursues an apprenticeship. 

 

Should I be looking into how this could impact immigration for us because my sponsor has a change in pay and job? Ugh. So frustrated by how long it's taking to get an interview!!

If your husband's current income is inadequate at the time of the interview, you will need a joint sponsor.

At the interview do you think they would only be interested in Tax form 1040 and W2 from 2020, or recent paystubs etc. ? Thanks for the reply. Our compiled application only features job/income information from 2017-2019.

Right, so you will need to update everything.  Recent paystubs are best for documenting the most recent income.
