criminal convictions?

[thepalace]

I received my CAS for a masters programme a couple days ago and so I'm finishing up my tier 4 application from Canada. One section requires that I disclose any criminal convictions, including traffic offences.

I've received 3 fixed penalty notices before; a speeding ticket 2 years ago, failure to provide driving documents 3 years ago, and a fine for open alcohol in public 4 years ago.

All 3 of these violations are non-criminal offences in Canada. In the case of the last one it's a provincial, non-criminal, non-traffic offence. I have no issues with declaring my traffic offences, but I don't know what to do about the open liquor ticket.

I have 2 criminal record checks, 1 from my local police service and another from the provincial police, stating that I have never had a criminal conviction nor am I wanted for any outstanding crimes. Do I still need to declare this alcohol violation? How is this going to impact my application?

If your criminal record checks come out clean, then you dont need to bother about disclosing the violation.
