Uk Non-Recordable offence

[Bluh]

Hi,

I am currently a student here in Canada. Before applying for a study permit, I lived in the UK. However, a few weeks before my flight to Canada. I was on a public bus and I got ticket from the fare collector officer for not having the correct ticket. After this happened I came to the Canada. Long story short after a few months I came to canada I received a letter(at the address where I lived in the uk) saying that I needed to pay a fine of 300 pounds in court. I also paid the fine. Because this incident happened when I was in canada, should I declare this on my co-op work permit under criminal offence?


After doing some research, I come to know that offence I committed are non-recordable offences. I am really scared this will affect my future prospects in canada. Any advice given will be appreciated.

I would say no, you were given a ticket and a fine which you paid. Equate it to getting a speeding ticket or littering. You weren't arrested or charged with anything, no reason to report it.
