It can do, what is the conviction for?
Something minor outside of Canada can be major for immigration.

Theft is an indictable offence under the Criminal Code of Canada which makes her inadmissible. She needs to apply for rehabilitation. 5 years must have elapsed from the time she has completed her sentence (i.e. probation, paid a fine, etc.) in order for her to be eligible. I'm guessing you don't want to immigrate to Canada without her! Read the following and good luck. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/rehabil.asp |

What if it is a conditional discharge because it was her first offense?

In the UK a conditional discharge becomes "spent" under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act after a period of time. But the conviction remains on record for ever.
Looks like rehabilitation is what you need as indicated by rjessome.

Was it a caution or was she actually charged?
In the UK, for a first offense shop lifting charge, usually a caution is given, unless there are other criminal activities in the past.
If it was a caution she was given, although this will be on her police record, it will not effect her family sponsorship immigration, as Canada is only concerned with crimes that the offender has been charged with.
If, however she was charged, as others have stated she will need to be rehabilitated. This should be no problem if the crime was 6 years ago, it will just add a little more time to the application process.
