I am currently applying for a permanent residency as a skilled worker in Canada and in this process I am asked to supply a police report ( a Data protection and Subject access )
However in 1996 I was convicted for intent to supply a class B drug. I was given 8 months prison ,but served 4 months for good behavior.
I have never been in trouble with the law since and my life can never be more different now from how it was when I was 20 (11 years ago).
Do I still have a criminal record? Does it ever get cleared? Will it show on my Data protection and Subject access report? If so will the Canadian Immigration refuse my application?
Many thanks.

Should the data still be active then they will not grant you a visa.But even so they may realise you have grown up since 1966 and learned a bit of sense.You can check as to whether these details are still on record by consulting a Solicitor which I would do.But it could be 11 yrs ago records were of paper which will now have been destroyed.Lodge the application and good luck.
