I'm assuming that the conviction is in some province in Canada and you're saying it was a careless driving conviction under the Highway Traffic Act of some province, and not an impaired driving conviction under the Criminal Code. If that's the case you'll be fine. Convictions under provincial statutes don't render you criminally inadmissible.
hello there
I have applied for CEC in 2014 and I was charged with DUI and refusal in Feb 2015, I have court date in December 2015 and I'm not sure what to do? in my CEC application the criminality came fine since the incident occurred after the incident. now its about to expire and am afraid CIC ask for another one.
Would this affect my application? any suggestions or advice? also charges hasn't been approved yet since i have trails in December
thank you

If you're convicted of the impaired or refusal you'll be inadmissible to Canada for 5 years from the date of the completion of your sentence, and your application will be rejected. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but DUI is a Criminal Code offence in Canada and renders you inadmissible for any visa except a TRP.
Ottawa-applicant said:
You are required to inform CIC that you have been charged with a crime. Your app will be put on hold pending the outcome of the trial. If you are convicted, your app will be refused.

If they haven't already completed your criminal record check they will find out, if they did the check after you were charged they may even already know.

You are not going to become a PR while charged with a DUI. Even if CIC doesn't become aware of it prior to issuing your COPR, CBSA will find out when you land. They will refuse to land you and bounce your app back to CIC. Your app will be put in holding until the trial is done. If you are convicted, your COPR will be cancelled. Also, CIC may charge you with misrepresentation for not informing them about the charge and trying to land.
