[BC] Want to apply for becoming a police officer, can I loose my PR status if I admit to have done things illegally in the past?

For the record, I am a PR and I do not have a criminal record, neither here in Canada nor anywhere else.

The in-take form is long and arduous. It asks if I have ever done X or Y and when the last time I did X or Y was. För example, at one point it asks if I have consumed magic mushrooms, I have done it in the past, both abroad and in Canada (bought on the reservations).

They are asking for full transparency and honesty. I don't mind being honest but I am worried it may affect my PR status in the country if I admit something that I haven't been charged for previously.

Appreciate all the help.
