First, 1st offender does not keep you out of jail/prison, or seal or expunge your criminal record. IF you successfully complete 1st offender, your GCIC (criminal record) will reveal your arrest charges, plea charges (if different from the arrest charges) and teh disposition of your case (1st offender). If you violate probation while on 1st offender, and the judge determines (after a hearing) that you have violated your probation, the judge will adjudicate you and on that date you will have a conviction, which will certainly appear on your record.
