All I can tell you is the repercussions of lying on a legal from will be much worse than if you tell the truth plus if you tell the truth you won't be constantly looking over your shoulder waiting to be arrested
What country do you live in now? Although I doubt that makes any different
Canada also denies entry to visitors with a criminal record - though they don't go out of their way to ask about whether you have one or not, and they do have the concept of rehabilitation after 5 years (10 for serious offences).
