It would appear you have much to explain.

Criminal record:
Type:  Assault
When:  1998
Convicted:  2002
Received:  $150 Fine, 6 mths probation
No pardon received as of today

So, you fought your charge and got convicted?  And that is your only criminal conviction?  When did you apply for your pardon request?  They typically take five years after your last conviction, but there are other factors that are looked at.

Credit Probs:
Type:  Unpaid child support, student loans, bills
Why?:  Basically, My ex (who has full custody) also has a drug abuse/gambling prob...and I HAVE the kids 100% of the time, she doesn't even see them on weekends for the past 6 yrs!
-She defrauds the government by claiming welfare, and when i try to fight her in court, she has salvation army defending her because she's on welfare.
-I can't work normal jobs cos of the garnishments, so now i fall back on all my other bills such as student loans.
-I have proof from our kids schools sayin that they are in my care.
-Everytime I get a job, I apply for legal aid, they say I can't get it cos I make too much, and then in a couple of weeks, I get garnished...have to quit simply cos I can't pay my bill/rent.
-When I apply for legal aid when I'm outta work, they say I have to wait 6 months b4 applying again.
-Everytime I get another job and put it in the system, I get garnished asap.

So you quit your job to avoid paying child support?  I don't see there being any sort of good way to spin that.  And if the kids are in your care, why are you paying anything?  Go back to court and get the agreement changed.  If you aren't working, you should be able to get legal aid. 
Some of this tale appears to be in conflict.

What kinda system is this? just trying to raise my kids in a safe environment and join the army so that they can be proud of me...
So what are my chances of getting into the CF?

Having integrity and being 100% honest are a start to being a member.  Just bear in mind that the background check won't just look at your basic criminal record.  They will be speaking to your local police department and will find out about ALL of your contacts with them, good or bad. 
I hope it works out.  It appears you have an uphill road in front of you.

  No worries. I hope you enjoy your time here.
 
Try a search, as this has been covered many times over. And you can also phone/visit your local CFRC/D.


Happy hunting.

To summarize. Welcome to Army.ca, start reading.

 
Will I be able to join the Canadian Armed Forces with a criminal record?Back when I was 16 and stupid I got charged with breaking and entering.I recieved 18 months probation and finished it with no trouble what so ever.I'am now 21 with a clean record because being charged at 16 I was a youth offender.Yet I'am still worried my stupid act I did when I was a teenager will stop me from becoming a soldier.
 
Best thing is just go to the local recruiting office and ask a recruiter. I would just apply and let them tell you if it will hold you back or not.
 
The best thing to do is ask but I'm pretty sure the whole point of the young offenders act is that dumb decisions when we're young don't haunt you for the rest of your life.  I think they ask you if you've been charged with an offence while over the age of 18.
 
No.  Lie about it, because they REALLLLY enjoy that.
 
From a lawyer website.

Contrary to public perception , Youth Court records are not destroyed at age 18. Evidence of prior findings of guilt under the Young Offenders Act are often used against adults in Court at bail hearings and sentencing. Young persons are never "convicted" but rather are "found guilty" of criminal offences.

After periods of time, Youth Court records are made not available, i.e. they may be purged from the local police or R.C.M.P. databases. The periods are:

alternative measures two years
absolute discharge one year
conditional discharge three years
other dispositions summary offences three years after all dispositions complete
indictable offences five years after all dispositions complete


Dispositions other than alternative measures and discharges will not be purged, however, if there is an intervening offence. Notwithstanding these provisions, fingerprints are transferred to the Special Fingerprints Repository and are destroyed after a further five years.


Now you must make a decision.
 
Sorry, but that ain't what I would call a clean record.

And thinking about lying, or covering it up, because you had the divine fortune to be charged under what I consider to be a toothless piece of legislature which does not absolve you of said guilt, just compounds the fact that maybe, just maybe, you should think whether or not you've "grown up."
