Misdemenor HELP!!!

[lovingit]

Hi everyone, I'm from the US and married a wonderful guy. However he is from Canada. We've decided to live in Canada. I've done a lot of research on the PR thing. But my problem is, I have a misdemenor that's about 20 yrs old. What happeded was my roomate back then had written a check on my bank account. Me, being young and stupid thought the bank should take care of it. They didn't, about a year later I was arrested and had to pay the ticket. Will this hurt my chances of getting my PR in Canada?

thanks for any help.

Doesn't it lift from your record at some point? It's only a misdemenor. If you sexually or physically assaulted someone 2 years ago then I'd say you were in trouble. But I wouldn't worry about this.
