A record suspension allows eligible individuals who have completed their sentences and demonstrated law-abiding conduct for the required period to have their criminal record set aside in the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC). It does not erase the conviction, but it can help reduce the impact of a criminal record on employment, education, volunteering, and other opportunities. Eligibility and waiting periods depend on factors including the date of the first offence, the type of conviction, and completion of all parts of the sentence.

Our legal team provides professional assistance with Record Suspension Applications, including reviewing your criminal history, determining potential eligibility, obtaining and organizing required court and police records, preparing the application, and addressing potential issues that could lead to delays or refusal. The Parole Board of Canada currently requires applicants to complete the applicable sentence and waiting period, and the official application process requires criminal record, court information, identity documentation, and other supporting materials
