I am researching immigration to the province of Quebec in terms of common Law relationship with my girlfriend. My question is in regards to background check. When I was 14 years old I was put on minor probation for 6 months because of a minor drug possession. I was young and stupid and have learned from my mistakes 10 fold. I am now 24 years old and hold a government job. What I would like to know is if this will affect my acceptance and if I should declare what happened. I have had no other criminal accusations and have never been convicted of any crime nor have I ever been in a court situation. I fully understand how stupid it was and I now believe it to be a learning experience. I have no relations to drugs what so ever and have not since I was 14 years old. I consider myself to be extremely responsible and a law-abiding citizen in every way. I just want to go about the process correctly and justly so that I have the best opportunity of entering Canada for residence.

Thank you for your honest answer to this strange and extremely embarrassing question.
