Post: International Student Applying for Canadian Visitor's Visa

Posted by Ahmed Yaman on 10/05/08
Hello,
I am an international student from Turkey with an F-1 visa
in the US. Months ago I was arrested with two friends on
the street by two undercover cops. The charge was burning
marijuana in public view. My fingerprints were taken. On my
second court the case got dismissed and sealed because
there was no evidence report in my file. I got the
certification of disposition that says so. I was told at
the clerks office that my record was spotless.
Now I want to visit Canada and need to get a visa. Do I
answer YES or NO to the question on the form that says
"Have you or any member of your family ever committed, been
arrested or charged with any criminal offence in any
country?" And also, if I say YES then I need to "provide
details" in the box below the question. What should I write
there?
Thanks a lot.
