You can apply for "rehabilitation" 5 years after the completeion of your sentance (fines and comm service count as sentence, probation does not), or, and I have no experience with this, if you need to get in less than 5 years afterward (as you do), you can try to get a temporary residence permit or a "minister's permit". Good luck, read up, and see if you can't find an immigration lawyer with experience re: Canada.

It is not an uncommon problem. Pinnacle even posts the paperwork on their webpage.
