What is a pardon?

Your record, separated from public databases

A pardon — officially called a record suspension — sets your criminal record apart from other records in the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC).

Approval depends heavily on how the application is prepared. Professional guidance can make a real difference.

Once your pardon is approved

  • Your record no longer appears on standard criminal record checks
  • Employers and landlords can't see your past conviction
  • New opportunities open for work, housing and education
  • You move forward without the stigma
