Demystifying Eligibility Criteria for Record Suspension
Each day we receive hundreds of calls and emails from people who need their old criminal charge or conviction removed in order to gain employment, get a promotion, volunteer or travel to the US.
The process of obtaining a pardon and record suspension is lengthy and complicated and requires a lot of paperwork gathering and processing. Many people don’t have the time or expertise to attempt this process on their own.
At Pardons Canada, we have been helping people to obtain pardons, record suspensions and US Entry Waivers for the past 20 years and we have the expertise to successfully complete all applications.
Here is a recent thank you letter we received from a government worker in helping him to obtain a pardon/record suspension:
“I’m writing to thank Pardons Canada for all the effort it has put into clearing up my criminal record files. During the application process, I especially appreciated the commitment of your staff to quickly respond to my inquiries requesting information on how the process works and keeping me updated on my progress.”
“As a former bureaucrat and civil servant, I recognize the significant time and effort required to properly go through all the necessary channels to ensure that all the documents and records are removed from both national and local levels.”
“When dealing with organizations whose primary purpose is collection, protection, and retention of information, it requires a significant amount of diplomacy and a solid reputation of ones own to support a request to destroy certain records.”
“As a result of your success at Pardons Canada, I appreciate being able to once again travel across international borders confidently and to undergo any work related security checks that may be required in the future.”
“More deeply, I feel that for many people, receiving a complete pardon can play a role in achieving emotional and psychological closure and removing any self inflicted stigma associated with past events.”
