Need a pardon?

It goes without saying that having a criminal record severely limits your career choices. But, what you may not understand is that having a criminal record can also severely limit your ability to travel, obtain custody of your children, attend post secondary education and even prevent you from volunteering in your community. In 2012, the Federal government changed the procedure for obtaining a pardon, now called a “Record Suspension”. In doing so, the government has made the application process longer, complex and more tedious. Obtaining a record suspension is no longer simply a quick exercise in completing paperwork.
