You don't say what offense your conviction was for. If it was the equivelant of a felony offense, it might cause them to look a little harder at you, but the fact that you were pardoned is certainly in your favor, and unless it was a sex crime, probably will not affect you.

What is a dismissed conviction?

It means just what the wod implies, they were dismissed. However- there are two types of dismissal; dismissal WITH prejudice, and dismissal WITHOUT prejudice. "With" means that the charge "goes away" and that particular charge cannot be re-instituted. "Without" means that although the charge was dismissed you CAN be re-charged once again. You definitely need to find out which one applies to you. A "dismissed" conviction does not mean that you're found "not guilty," or were "pardoned." The record will appear on your criminal history record.
