Yes, NZ is a member of the Five Eyes agreement on information sharing , any non disclosure of your convictions could be cause for refusal . But I’d first do some research to see if your conviction makes you inadmissible into Canada to begin with, because If you’re inadmissible, applying for a work visa would be fruitless unless you go thru additional steps to make yourself admissible

Assume that most countries will share convictions with each other during a background check. Not declaring a conviction is potentially worse than what the conviction was for - you'd be banned for five years even if the conviction itself didn't make you criminally inadmissible.

You should look into rehabilitation.
