  2. What requirements must be met before applying for record suspension? • The eligibility criteria to apply for a Record Suspension (formerly known as a pardon) in Canada can vary depending on the type of offense and the specific circumstances of an individual’s criminal record. However, some general eligibility criteria include: • Completed Sentence: You must have completed your sentence, including any imprisonment, probation, fines, or restitution orders associated with the conviction. • Waiting Period: There is a waiting period after the completion of your sentence before you can apply for a Record Suspension. The waiting period depends on the type of offense:a) For summary offenses (less serious crimes), you must wait 5 years after completing your sentence.b) For indictable offenses (more serious crimes), you must wait 10 years after completing your sentence. • No New Convictions: During the waiting period and the application process, you must not have been convicted of any new criminal offenses. • All Fines and Restitution Paid: You must have paid all fines, restitution, or other financial obligations related to your convictions. • What advantages does Record Suspension offer? • Employment Opportunities: Perhaps one of the most significant benefits is the improved access to employment opportunities. With a Record Suspension, individuals can legally state that they do not have a criminal record when applying for jobs, which can enhance their chances of securing employment. • Career Advancement: For individuals with career aspirations that involve security clearances or professional licensing, a Record Suspension can be essential. It can make them eligible for positions that were previously off- limits due to their criminal record.

  3. Enhanced Travel: A Record Suspension can make it easier to travel internationally, as some countries have stringent entry requirements for individuals with criminal records. It can facilitate smoother border crossings and visa applications. • Housing and Rental Applications: Landlords and property managers often conduct background checks on potential tenants. A Record Suspension can improve an individual’s chances of being approved for rental housing. • Reputation and Stigma Reduction: Record Suspension helps reduce the stigma associated with having a criminal record. It allows individuals to move forward with their lives without being constantly reminded of their past mistakes. --------------------- End
