A criminal record can have long-lasting consequences, impacting various aspects of your life, including employment opportunities, travel plans, and personal relationships. Fortunately, in Canada, individuals with a criminal record have the option to apply for a Record Suspension, formerly known as a Pardon, which can provide a fresh start and remove certain barriers to success. At SekCheck, we understand the importance of this process and are committed to guiding you through every step of the Record Suspension application.
Here's a quick guide to help you navigate the Record Suspension application process:
Eligibility Assessment: The first step is determining if you are eligible to apply for a Record Suspension. Eligibility criteria include completing your sentence, paying all fines and restitution orders, and adhering to waiting periods specific to the offense(s) committed.
Document Gathering: Once eligibility is confirmed, gather all required documents, including court documents, police records, and proof of completion of sentence and fines.
Application Completion: Fill out the Record Suspension application form accurately and completely. Any errors or omissions could delay the process or result in rejection.
Submission: Submit your application package to the Parole Board of Canada (PBC) along with the required processing fee. Ensure all documents are included and organized as per PBC guidelines.
Review Process: The PBC will review your application to ensure compliance with eligibility criteria and completeness of documentation. They may also conduct background checks and request additional information if needed.
Decision: Upon completion of the review process, the PBC will render a decision regarding your Record Suspension application. If approved, your criminal record will be sealed, providing you with a fresh start.
