that being said, I handled the canada stuff on my end, and I would recommend you do the same. You are not eligible for criminal rehabilitation until 5 years after your sentencing/probation has ended, thus you have to apply for a temporary residence permit (which can grant you canadian entry for up to 3 years).
You should reach out to your advocate and tell them upfront first and get the answers you need before you interview.
DONT GET ANOTHER ONE.
