Six Employment-Related Reasons Why You Need to Beat Your Assault Charge
If convicted of any Assault charge, you will instantly have a criminal record! From that point on, you will face severely diminished employment opportunities. The following six reasons explain why it is vitally important for you to work with a lawyer capable of helping you beat that Assault charge.
1. An Assault conviction is a Serious Criminal Offense in Canada
If you are convicted of any type of assault, you automatically get a criminal record, and your assault charge details and conviction will be entered into the RCMP database (CPIC).
2. Your Criminal Record Will Show Up On Criminal Background Checks
Many employers require criminal background checks for all employees (and that means employees report any criminal conviction subsequent to employment), which means, upon formal request, the local police will access CPIC, spot, and be required to report your conviction
3. Need a Driver's Licence For Your Job? Forget About It.
Upon conviction, your driver's licence will be suspended across Canada for up to a year, and this suspension also applies in many American States. So if you drive for a living, or need a vehicle to get to and from your job, or to do your job - forget about it.
4. For Professionals - A Criminal Record Means losing Your Ability to Practice
Are you a Doctor? Lawyer? Nurse? Chartered Account? Engineer? or other government-licenced Professional? If you are, you should know that a criminal conviction will almost certainly impact your ability to maintain your licence and to continue practicing as a professional.
5. Want a Job in Government? In Aviation, or The Police Force? Forget About It.
Many jobs in government, the military, the aviation industry, and the police force require a clear criminal record.
6. Do Business in the USA? Forget About It.
Access to the RCMP database of convicted criminals (CPIC) is routinely used by USA Immigration Officers to deny entry to individuals with criminal records.
