没啥大不了的,放宽心。你的条件应该能申请到法律援助。先去申请法律援助。我估计最多就是个PEACE BOND,对你没什么影响。
法律援助的律师有的很差劲,没有任何职业操守,会一个劲地劝你认罪,那样你麻烦就大了。遇到这样的律师,坚决换掉。、
总之,你的底线最多就是PEACE BOND. 千万别认罪。这里的铁律就是不认罪,别的什么坦白,宽恕都是扯淡。你可以找种种的借口:压力大,神情恍惚忘了付钱。记性不好,等等等。总之,自己不是有意要去拿(偷)商店的东西。
别听论坛里的个别人吓唬,他们不懂。5000以下的盗窃,想判你个刑事犯罪不是那么容易的。
另外,以后见了律师,包括以后的任何人,别这么实在。就说你是被误解了,被冤枉了,你根本就没想去偷商店的东西。
希望能帮到你,并希望你把事件的进展及时通知我们。如果需要进一步咨询可以给我PM。把心放肚子里吧,不是什么大事。坏事变好事,让你迅速熟悉游戏规则。
(1) 查了一下关于 PEACE BOND 的定义. 是加拿大刑事法庭发出的 Order.

(2) 这里有个关于 $5000以上, 和$5000以下的可能判决的说明:

$5000以下最坏的情况是2年. 看你的情况是$50, 1%而已, 又是first time, 没有那么严重. 建议争取罚款判决.

(4) 在加拿大的刑法中, 关于偷窃的处罚:
Canada
Section 322(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada provides the general definition for theft in Canada:
322. (1) Every one commits theft who fraudulently and without colour of right takes, or fraudulently and without colour of right converts to his use or to the use of another person, anything, whether animate or inanimate, with intent
(a) to deprive, temporarily or absolutely, the owner of it, or a person who has a special property or interest in it, of the thing or of his property or interest in it;
(b) to pledge it or deposit it as security;
(c) to part with it under a condition with respect to its return that the person who parts with it may be unable to perform; or
(d) to deal with it in such a manner that it cannot be restored in the condition in which it was at the time it was taken or converted.[3]
Sections 323 to 333 provide for more specific instances and exclusions:
theft from oyster beds (s. 323)
theft by bailee of things under seizure (s. 324)
exception when agent is pledging goods (s. 325)
theft of telecommunications service (s. 326)
possession of device to obtain telecommunication facility or service (s. 327)
theft by or from person having special property or interest (s. 328)
theft by person required to account (s. 330)
theft by person holding power of attorney (s. 331)
misappropriation of money held under direction (s. 332)
exception for ore taken for exploration or scientific research (s. 333)
In the general definition above, the Supreme Court of Canada has construed "anything" very broadly, stating that it is not restricted to tangibles, but includes intangibles. To be the subject of theft it must, however:
be property of some sort;
be property capable of being
taken (therefore intangibles are excluded); or
converted (and may be an intangible);
taken or converted in a way that deprives the owner of his proprietary interest in some way.[4]
Because of this, confidential information cannot be the subject of theft, as it is not capable of being taken as only tangibles can be taken. It cannot be converted, not because it is an intangible, but because, save in very exceptional far‑fetched circumstances, the owner would never be deprived of it.[4]
For the purposes of punishment, Section 334 divides theft into two separate offences, according to the value and nature of the goods stolen:
If the thing stolen is worth more than $5000 or is a testamentary instrument the offence is commonly referred to as [color="red"][color="navy"]Theft Over $5000 and is an indictable offence with a maximum punishment of 10 years imprisonment.
Where the stolen item is not a testamentary instrument and is not worth more than $5000 it is known as [color="red"][color="navy"]Theft Under $5000 and is a hybrid offence, meaning that it can be treated either as an indictable offence or a less serious summary conviction offence, depending on the choice of the prosecutor.
if dealt with as an indictable offence, it is punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years, and,
if treated as a summary conviction offence, it is punishable by 6 months imprisonment, a fine of $2000 or both.
Where a motor vehicle is stolen, Section 333.1 provides for a maximum punishment of 10 years for an indictable offence (and a minimum sentence of six months for a third or subsequent conviction), and a maximum sentence of 18 months on summary conviction.
