I have a sealed U.S. criminal record for a charge that was dismissed.

How will this affect my immigration to Canada?  Do I have to report it on the forms?  I was told by my criminal lawyer and the court system that since it is sealed I can legally say that I have not be charged or convicted of a crime, however; I did not ask them if I am legally required to tell the Canadian government about this on an immigration form.

If I do have to report my sealed criminal record which is a dismissed charge with no conviction, how will the Canadian governemnt go about building my Canadian criminal record?

Will the Canadian government seal my record just like in the U.S. where it is not available to be viewed by  the public or will they put it on my Canadian criminal rap sheet show that the Canadian public can see it?

The charge was dismissed, but you are still supposed to report any arrests on the immigration application.
The Canadian gov't won't make it public in any way.
Get your FBI clearance, and see if anything about this shows up there - if it does, you will have to report it on the application.
But I think you should ask a Canadian immigration lawyer about this.
