In Canada, a Record Suspension, previously known as a Pardon, is an
official  process  that  seals  a  person's  criminal  record.  It  allows
individuals who have completed their  sentence and demonstrated
law-abiding behaviour to have their  criminal  record kept  separate
from  other  criminal  records  in  the  Canadian  Police  Information
Centre  (CPIC)  database.  A  Record  Suspension  helps  individuals
reintegrate into society by removing the stigma associated with a
criminal record, enabling them to access employment, housing, and
other opportunities without the hindrance of their past convictions.
Process for Applying for a Record Suspension:
Eligibility  Assessment: Before  applying  for  a  Record  Suspension,
individuals must ensure they meet the eligibility criteria, including completing
their  sentence,  paying  all  fines,  and  demonstrating  a  law-abiding  life  for  a
specific  period  after  completing  their  sentence,  usually  five  or  ten  years,
depending on the offense.
Obtaining  Necessary  Documents: Applicants  need  to  gather
documents related to their conviction(s), including court documents, proof of
sentence completion,  and documentation demonstrating their  rehabilitation
and good conduct since the conviction.
Completing Application Forms: Applicants  must  fill  out  the  Record
Suspension application forms accurately  and thoroughly.  The forms usually
require  personal  information,  details  of  the  conviction(s),  and  information
about rehabilitation efforts.
Obtaining a Certified Criminal Record: Applicants need to obtain a
certified  criminal  record  check  from  the  RCMP or  a  local  police  service  to
include with their application.
Submitting the Application: The completed application, along with all
required documents  and the processing fee,  needs  to  be submitted to  the
Parole  Board  of  Canada  (PBC),  which  is  responsible  for  reviewing  and
processing Record Suspension applications.
Timeline and Fees:
The  timeline  for  processing  a  Record  Suspension  application  can  vary
significantly,  typically  taking  around  12  to  24  months  or  even  longer,
depending on the complexity of the case, the workload of the PBC, and other
factors.
As  for  fees,  there  are  several  costs  associated  with  a  Record  Suspension
application, including the application fee, fingerprinting fees, obtaining court
documents,  and obtaining certified copies of criminal records. The fees can
add  up  to  several  hundred  dollars  or  more,  depending  on  individual
circumstances.
It's  important  to  note  that  the  process,  timeline,  and  fees  for  a  Record
Suspension  application  can  be  complex  and  vary  based  on  individual
circumstances, including the nature of the offense and the completeness of
the  application.  Seeking  guidance  from  legal  professionals  or  organizations
specializing in Record Suspension applications can be beneficial  to ensure a
thorough and successful application process. For information and queries, you
