Pardons Canada: How Long Does it Take to Clear a Stayed charge
I am just inquiring about the process of getting my non-conviction record destroyed and if I am eligible to do so.
October 25, 2019:
- Received 2 charges:
- Charge 1: Impaired Driving (Section 320.14(1)(a) of the Criminal Code of Canada)
- Charge 2: Impaired Operation Alcohol Over Limit 80mg% (Section 320.14(1)(b) of the Criminal Code of Canada.
August 09, 2021:
- Received a letter from my lawyer (Benjamin M. Lotery) stating that the Crown has stayed the charges against me and will no longer be proceeding against me.
August 29, 2022:
- As it has been over 1 year and the Crown did not bring the charges back into Court, I would like to request for non-conviction record destruction for the above stated charges.
Pardons Canada: A stay of proceedings is a good outcome for a DUI but you will need to apply for a file destruction as the record will still show up on CPIC or the RCMP file until that is completed.
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.
