What is a Canadian Pardon (Record Suspension)?
A Canadian Pardon, also known as a Record Suspension, is a legal process that seals a person’s criminal record from public access, effectively removing it from most background checks conducted by employers, landlords, and other institutions. Granted by the Parole Board of Canada, a Record Suspension does not erase the record but separates it, ensuring it no longer appears in the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) database accessible to the public.
This relief is available to those who have completed their sentences and maintained a crime-free period for a specified time. While certain government agencies may still access the record under specific conditions, a Record Suspension allows individuals to pursue employment, housing, travel, and education opportunities more freely, without past convictions affecting their future. At GlobalPardon, we specialize in guiding clients through the Record Suspension process, ensuring every requirement is met to help them rebuild their lives with confidence.
