Pardon Canada Service

What is a Pardon in Canada and the Service Required?

A Record Suspension, also known as a pardon, ensures that an individual’s record of criminal convictions is sealed and will not appear in police background or criminal record checks. Canadians with a criminal record may qualify for a record suspension if they have completed their sentence, paid all fines associated with their conviction, and refrained from re-offending for a specified amount of time (amongst other requirements). A Criminal Record Suspension is obtained by submitting a completed application to the Parole Board of Canada.

Why Pursue a Criminal Record Suspension?

Your criminal record is not automatically erased after your sentence is served. This means a crime committed in the past will continue to have consequences that impact your quality of life. Without a Record Suspension, your criminal record will appear on various background checks. This can limit your options for housing and employment, impede your ability to own a home and travel freely, and interfere with processes like child custody cases, loan or credit applications, and immigration. A record suspension allows you to seal your criminal record so the mistakes of your past can no longer cast a shadow on your future.
