You made a mistake. You paid your debt to society. Now it's time to reclaim your freedom.
Yes, you can apply for a pardon on your own.
We prepare and file your application within several months. The Parole Board of Canada can take between 6 to 12 months to render their decision.
Our fee is $800. Fees for fingerprinting, local police records check and Parole Board filing will cost between $100 - $200.
When the Canadian government replaced the term "pardon" with "record suspension" in 2012, it also enacted stricter eligibility requirements for pardons. (Note: We still use the term "pardon" because that's the term most of our clients understand.)
The eligibility requirements are complicated. With just one phone call, we can tell you if you're eligible for a pardon or not. If not, it won't cost you a dime – but it could save you a mint. Just call 604-789-3535 to find out.
A pardon will remove your criminal record, helping you find work, volunteer, study and travel.
Your pardon will also speed-up the approval of your US entry waiver application.
USCBP does not recognize a pardon. Depending on your criminal charges, you might be required to obtain a US entry waiver.
Common charges that can bar you from the United States include:
The US Customs and Border Protection fee is US$585 and fingerprinting is about $75. The average cost of our fee is $750.
