If you've recently been convicted of a crime then you'll likely be inadmissable to Canada for several years.

Conditional discharge results to non conviction.. and in that link if the conditional discharge is in canada you are not inadmissible..

Record suspension or discharge
If you have been convicted in Canada and want to apply for a record suspension (formerly known as a pardon), check with the Parole Board of Canada. If you get a Canadian record suspension, you will no longer be inadmissible.

If you received a record suspension or a discharge for your conviction in another country, check with the visa office that serves the country or region where you live. It will tell you if the pardon is valid in Canada.

This will help make sure that when you arrive in Canada, a border services officer has enough information to decide if you can enter Canada. The officer will still check to make sure you are not inadmissible for other reasons.

Im also in similar situation, like you.
I was arrested in Canada, later got caution letter saying charges were withdrawn.
In my case I was not charged, convicted. But I was arrested.

Later when I applied for my pgwp and visa, i mentioned about this info.
I successfully received them and I also travelled internationally.

Now Im applying for pr, i will explain about the issue in letter of explanation.
But im very worried because I dont know what kind of impact that incident will have on my application.

I dont know anyone who is in similar situation.

What were you arrested for?

shop lifting (worth $60)

shop lifting (worth $60)

Likely going to be hard to explain, as you weren't convicted then I guess that's a plus. You'll just have to explain the best you can.

I have to ask though, why do something so stupid?

If you really qualify for a PR through some route, I think it is better for you guys to consult an attorney. Very less chances of getting correct guidance on these things in a public forum as it is not a common scenario.
