Back again guys, hope everyone's well!
So in April 2015 I got arrested for a public order offence under section 4. Basically had a little fight with a guy whilst drunk.
I admitted everything and the judge gave me 75 hours community service and let me go.
Now in 2017 the crime was spent completely and I completely all the work hours with in 6 months of the court date.
So with this being a the only offence I've ever commited and been arrested for will this cause me a problem?
I've had other things like speeding fines and points on licence but never actually been arrested for anything other than the one time I had to go To court any help on this will be much appreciated cheers folks.

IMHO this would be equated to section 175(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada causing a disturbance which is a summary offence only so you shouldn't be found inadmissible. The arrest and conviction will need to be declared for any application to come to Canada be it an eTA application or for PR/spousal application.
Causing disturbance, indecent exhibition, loitering, etc.
