Hello, is there any restriction for a Canadian Citizen to sponsor his wife for immigration when the applicant's criminal record is officially suspended? I can see notes below from https://www.canada.ca/en/parole-board/services/record-suspensions/what-is-a-record-suspension.html but does not mention anything about sponsoring spouse.

A record suspension allows people who were convicted of a criminal offence, but have completed their sentence and demonstrated that they are law-abiding citizens for a prescribed number of years, to have their criminal record kept separate and apart from other criminal records.
A record suspension removes a person's criminal record from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) database. This means that a search of CPIC will not show that the individual has a criminal record or a record suspension. This helps them access employment and educational opportunities and to reintegrate into society.
