Not sure if it helps.

I beleieve it is worded as "if convicted"

Therefore like the DCFS in this country they retain records and hold over your head forever more which is what the fear mongers want to do.

But it certainly could be used as evidence of a non threat to your potential spouse.

Conviction vacated = you committed the crime but the courts set certain conditions to remove the crime from your record.

Pardon = you comiited the crime and you were pardoned from it

In both cases you were convicted of the crime but you were given some sort of repreive from the consequences but the court records will show you were convicted. I would bet that is the record they would hold in your face.

I good question for more knowledgeable people than myself.
