A National Non-Profit Organization for over 32 years.

About Pardons Canada

Learn about Pardons Canada, a National Non-Profit organization that assists individuals in removing a past criminal offence from public record.

As a resource for over 5,400 government and community agencies, we provide support and information by telephone, on our website, and in person at our all-day walk-in centre.

What Does Pardons Canada Do?

We promote positive behaviour by giving people hope. Many people have made regrettable mistakes. Those who are no longer involved in criminal activity have an opportunity to make a fresh start and a positive change in their lives. 

By removing criminal records, we help lift the stigma and shame associated with a criminal past, allowing people to feel that they belong in our society again. People who feel part of a community make better parents, citizens, and neighbours.

How We Help

With the applicant’s permission, Pardons Canada undertakes all necessary steps and procedures for removing a criminal record, including Pardons/Record Suspensions, Purges, Photograph & Fingerprint Destruction, and U.S. Entry Waivers. 

What you were charged with, when you went to court, what the court decided, and your personal situation such as immigration or employment circumstances will determine what needs to be done and the order in which to do it. 

With over 32 years of experience, Pardons Canada knows exactly how to handle your file. We gather and process all necessary documents and get proof in writing once your criminal record is removed.

Trained Professionals To Help You

The counsellors at Pardons Canada are experts and are qualified to answer your questions. In addition to giving general information about criminal records, our counsellors will answer specific questions about your situation. The conversation between you and your counsellor is confidential. You may remain completely anonymous during your call.

You can speak to a counsellor by calling toll-free 1 (833) 501-3339 Monday to Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. EST. If you want to meet with a counsellor to review any relevant documents you may have, visit our all-day Walk-In Center. There is no fee for meeting with a counsellor.

Additional Support Provided

Employment and Immigration Support Letters

Support letters from Pardons Canada can help correct employment and immigration issues.

A support letter can go a long way in showing that you have changed and improved your behaviour.

Record Removal Eligibility

Pardons Canada will be able to confirm that you are eligible to have your record destroyed or sealed and the timeline for its completion.
