Pardons Canada: How It Feels to Remove a Criminal Record
Each day we recieve thank you letters from people we have helped to obtain a Canada Pardon. Often the experience of having a criminal record is very unsettling both emotionally and financially. Many employers are not hiring people with a criminal record and the Americans are denying entry to people who have a criminal record in Canada.
Here is a letter from a person we recently helped to obtain a Canada Pardon for a domestic assault conviction:
“For several years now, I have been overshadowed by a dark cloud that followed me everywhere I went.”
“Despite the overwhelming support of family and friends, and even after paying my debt, this cloud of shame and embarassment remained.”
“I had been informed that one could apply to be pardoned. However, I did not know how or where to start, let alone if I would even get a second chance to start over.”
“The good people at Pardons Canada have given me that chance, not only treating me with dignity and respect, but now giving me the ability to truly put my past behind me and move forward with my life.”
“I can now become the person I desire to be.”
“I cannot change my past, but I now have the freedom to forge a new future free from the bonds that have prevented me from reaching my goals. I have a new sense of self worth, unburdened by the mistakes I have made.”
“I no longer fear of future rejection of employment, instead knowing it will be determined by my character and work ethic, rather than my past.”
“I certainly have regrets, but I have been given the opportunity to finally and truly turn it all around with this Pardon. I will always have to live with the choices and mistakes I have made.”
“I will always regret and remorse for the pain I may have caused others, but having been given this second chance with a Pardon, ensures I will never make those same mistakes again.”
“When I received my letter of pardon, it seemed almost unbelievable. A great weight lifted from me. I feel renewed, reborn and free.”
“My new life begins now. For that I thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”
