Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there is a Canadian Equivalent for the UK offence "Affray"?

I am awaiting my ETA approval but have a 6month Affray Conviction from 2004 at a Young Offenders Institute. I was 18 when the offence happened, and 19 when convicted. From what I've read I may be"deemed rehabilitated" as it was over 10 yrs ago, and I was charged as a young offender. This would obviously depend on the severity of the offence, but I can't work that out as there doesn't seem to be an exact Equivalent. Basically it was a fight with a group of people after a night out drinking... it was first and last offence.

Any advice would be truly appreciated!

Hi

I imagine the closest equivalent is "Causing disturbance".
