Not enought is known about the incident to render an opinion, however assault with a weapon is a VERY serious offense, and it may make absolutely no difference if it's your first offense or not. No one is entitled to "one free bite at the apple."

What section is assault in the criminal code of Canada?

Section 265 of the Criminal Code deals with assault. Under common law assault involved the apprehension of violence. This is not to be confused with battery which was actual physical contact with another individual. For example, when someone raises their hands in preparedness to strike, which you didn't consent to, and you believe they will, that would constitute assault. However under the Code assault has been broadened to include actual physical contact as well as the threat of contact, whether directly or indirectly. Note, a mistake in contact is not an assault. Assault is a hybrid crime under the Code meaning it can be a summary or a indictable offense.

Do you have criminal record because you were deported from Canada because of non leaving Canada on time?

Well, you certainly won't have a record in the United States, because it's not a crime in any State to be in someone else's country illegally. If you were simply deported and not convicted of any actual criminal offense in Canada, you won't have a criminal record there, either, however you are probably now listed as "ineligible to enter Canada" by the Canadian authorities.
