Frequently asked questions
When can I apply for a Canadian pardon (record suspension)?
Eligibility depends on the type of offence and how much time has passed since you completed your sentence. Each case is different. A quick review of your situation confirms when you're eligible.
My record hasn't affected me so far. Why should I apply?
Many people apply for peace of mind. A criminal record can unexpectedly affect employment, travel, housing or background checks later in life. A pardon helps prevent future issues.
How long does it take to receive a pardon or a U.S. waiver?
Timelines vary with the application type, the offence and the documents required. Some cases take several months, others longer. We explain expected timelines clearly before you begin.
What problems can a criminal record cause?
- Employment and promotions
- Travel, especially to the United States
- Renting a home
- Insurance eligibility
- Licensing and volunteering
- Peace of mind
If I have multiple offences, do I need more than one pardon?
No. A single pardon covers all eligible offences on your criminal record.
What happens if I commit another offence after receiving a pardon?
A new conviction can revoke the pardon. Depending on your situation, you may need to apply again in the future.
