Parole Board of Canada – Record Suspension

A Record Suspension (formerly known as a Pardon) application can be completed by individuals without the assistance of a lawyer or any other agency.

If it has been five (5) years (summary offence) or ten (10) years (indictable offence), since you completed your last sentence, you may apply to the Parole Board of Canada for a record suspension. Everything you’ll need to know is included in a booklet put out by the Parole Board of Canada, which is available, free of charge from the Records office of any police agency.

Record Suspension Application Booklets may also be downloaded from the Parole Board of Canada website at:
