Pardon Overview

If you have ever been charged with a criminal offence, you have a criminal record. Your record is never removed automatically unless you were granted a discharge. In order to have your criminal record removed you must apply for a Pardon under the Criminal Records Act of Canada.

What is a Pardon?
A Pardon allows a person who was convicted of a criminal offence, and who has completed their sentence and demonstrated that they are a law-abiding citizen, to have their criminal record sealed. Under the Criminal Records Act (CRA), the National Parole Board (NPB) may issue, grant, deny, or revoke a pardon.

What are the advantages of a Pardon?
All information pertaining to convictions will be taken out of the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) and may not be disclosed without permission from the Solicitor General of Canada. The Canadian Human Rights Act forbids discrimination based on a pardoned conviction. This includes services a person needs or the opportunity to work for a federal agency. The CRA states that no employment application form may ask any question that would require an applicant to disclose a pardoned conviction.

Who may apply for a Pardon?
Anyone who has been convicted of an offence in Canada may apply for a Pardon. A person may apply even if he/she is not a Canadian citizen or a resident of Canada. They may also apply if they were convicted in another country and transferred to Canada under the Transfer of Offenders Act. Once your Pardon is granted you will never be required to reveal to anyone that you had a criminal record, except if you re-offend.

The National Parole Board (NPB) has exclusive jurisdiction to grant, refuse to grant or to revoke a Pardon. However, they will not arbitrarily refuse to grant a Pardon. If you have waited the required period (3, 5 or 10 years) after the sentence imposed was completed, and if you have all the proper supporting documents, and if you have been of good conduct, we will be able to get you a Pardon.
