Hi I am a permanent resident of Australia from 2012 . I didn't have any criminal history but in 2016 I went to court for a breach of dvo . There was no violence involved . It was just breached due to a text message . The judgement given by court was without proceeding to conviction good behaviour bond and I got told it's finished or suspended .
In 2018 I renewed my rrv and in the section where it says "have you ever convicted of any offence or being to jail I selected no .
I thought I didn't get convicted or went to jail so I selected no . I did the same on the incoming passenger card in 2018 and then 2019 when I left and came back from overseas .
In 2019 I got charged for a minor stealing offence from a work place . I pleaded guilty . Judge fined me and I paid fine .
This time I knew I committed offence and got the sentence of CCO and 250$ .
My concern is now I need to renew my rrv . I selected "have you ever convicted of a crime in Australia" which I selected "yes ".
How do I prove it or tell the immigration that last application I made a honest mistake .
After that 2019 stealing charge I have been working as a manager at different venues and have very strong character references .
Will my rrv be cancelled due to the previous application of making a mistake to declare criminal history .
