Canadian Criminal Record Relief · 刑事洗底
There are two ways to deal with a Canadian criminal record, and they are not the same. Which one applies depends on whether you were convicted.
有刑事犯罪记录 · 赦免 / 记录暂停
If you were convicted of an offence and completed your sentence, a record suspension keeps your conviction record separate from other criminal records in the CPIC database. Most routine background checks will no longer disclose it.
Applications are decided by the Parole Board of Canada. Eligibility depends on the type of offence and how long ago your sentence — including fines, probation and restitution — was fully completed.
受到指控但未被定罪 · 洗掉指控记录
If you were charged but never convicted — withdrawn, stayed, dismissed, acquitted or discharged — a record of the charge, the arrest, your fingerprints and your photographs can still exist with police and the RCMP.
A purge asks that these non-conviction records be destroyed by the police service that holds them and removed from the national repository, so they stop surfacing on background checks.
We confirm the offence type, sentence completion dates and waiting period before any work begins.
Fingerprinting, RCMP criminal record certificate, local police record checks and court documents.
Requesting dispositions, proof of payment and file information from the courts and police services involved.
Where the Board requires it, we prepare measurable-benefit and good-conduct submissions.
The application is assembled to Parole Board of Canada standards and submitted with the required government fee.
We monitor the file, answer Board queries and notify you as soon as a decision is issued.
A Canadian record suspension is recognized in Canada. It does not bind the United States. If U.S. authorities already have your record, you may still be refused entry after a pardon is granted, and a separate U.S. entry waiver is required.
