You will still need to answer "Yes" to the question of "Have you ever committed, been charged with, or convicted of a crime."

If you plead guilty and received an absolute discharge, the charge should technically not be on your record but it is an indictable offense (under $5k is hybrid, which for immigration purposes is understood to be indictable). An indictable offense would render you inadmissible but I'm not sure how the absolute discharge plays into that.

You need to speak to a lawyer.

But you have to still report it because you (1) committed it, (2) were charged, and (3), plead guilty. Each of which the form asks you to report.

I agree that an absolute discharge should mean you're okay, but I'm not a lawyer and cannot say that with any certainty.
