Criminal Rehabilitation for Canada after U.S. federal conviction – am I likely eligible?

I'm trying to understand whether I would likely qualify for Canadian Criminal Rehabilitation before I spend money on an application.

Here are the facts:

• I have 1 federal conviction in the United States.
• In 2018, I pleaded guilty to one count of theft of government funds under 18 U.S.C. § 641.
• The amount involved was approximately $30,000.
• I had no prior criminal history.
• My sentencing guideline range was 0–6 months, and I received 3 years of probation (no jail time).
• I completed probation in Oct 2019.
• I paid all court-ordered financial obligations.
• I have had no arrests or convictions since then.
• I have maintained steady employment and have a stable family life.

I've been reading that Canada compares the offense to the equivalent Canadian offense rather than looking only at the U.S. conviction. My understanding is that theft over $5,000 may be considered the closest equivalent.

My questions are:

1. Based on these facts, is Criminal Rehabilitation likely the correct path?
2. Would this likely be treated as "serious criminality" for fee purposes?
3. Has anyone with a similar federal § 641 conviction successfully obtained Criminal Rehabilitation?
4. Are there any common mistakes or documents I should be aware of before applying?

I'm looking for general information and experiences.

Thanks in advance
