Hi, I was convicted of a crime in Scotland when I was 18 years old. Would I have been classed as a Young offender. I was sentenced to a Young Offenders Institute for 3 months. I am trying to decide if i need to apply for Canadian Rehabilitation to travel there and possibly emigrate there.
This is the statement from there Web site
"You are not inadmissible if you:
were treated as a young offender in a country which has special provisions for young offenders"
