With a criminal record it will be extremely difficult to get a visa, let alone residency, in Canada or the UK. You would need to get a pardon, wait like a decade from the time of your last conviction or find some other way to prove your rehabilitation. Those are pretty serious offenses and countries don't want to import liabilities.
