In Canada, the lowest sentence for this type of charge is an absolute discharge (ie: convicted of the offence but immediately pardoned so there is no criminal record) Another common sentence for low level assaults is a conditional discharge.

A six month conditional discharge is a criminal record which remains on your record for a period of 2 and a half years, if you were under 18 years old at the time, or for 5 years if you are over 18 years old. After this time it is considered spent, during the time you must disclose this to employers. It is held by Police, Courts and Probation Offices, it is also held by the Criminal Records Bureau. After the conditional discharge is considered spent you do not need to disclose it for most jobs. Only if you apply for a job that requires an enhanced disclosure (teaching, Social Work, Police, etc) where it will show as a spent conviction.
