Pardons Canada: How Long Does it Take to Clear a Stayed charge
If you were fingerprinted by the police and the charges were later withdrawn, dismissed, stayed, peace bond, or discharged, it can still show up on an RCMP file.
If it shows up on the RCMP file then it can interfere with your ability to gain employment or travel to the US as there is a red flag on your criminal background check.
Once a file destruction is approved, it will no longer appear on your criminal background check and your CPIC or RCMP file will be clear.
Pardons Canada undertakes all necessary steps and procedures for removing your criminal record, including: Pardons/Record Suspensions, Purges, Photograph & Fingerprint Destruction, and U.S. Entry Waivers.
