Sarah was admitted to the Canada as a temporary resident on a student visa. Two years after she was admitted into Canada as a student, while she was validly maintaining her temporary resident student status, she met a fellow student, David, who is a Canadian citizen. Only three months after they met, Sarah married David. Assume she has successfully obtained permanent resident status.

Six months after Sarah received her permanent resident status, she was caught and arrested for shoplifting at a local mall. The arresting officer found 40 grams of marijuana in Sarah's purse. Sarah eventually pled guilty under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to possession of a controlled substance and under the Criminal Code to theft under $5000.00. The judge instead imposed on Sarah a sentence of three months of probation and a fine. The penalty for the shoplifting was a fine only. Sarah had pled guilty to shoplifting once before, before she met David. After David learned of her arrest, he became extremely angry with Sarah. Realizing that he did not know Sarah well enough before he married her, David has refused to have any contact with her since her arrest. It is now December 6, 20.
