Criminal Records in Canada

Did you know that the majority of criminal records in Canada are pardonable?

Here are the criteria for your pardon:

1. You have been convicted of a federal offence as an adult
2. It has been at least three years since you have completed your sentence

And that's it.

However, note that the term "completed your sentence" is subject to the following conditions:

You have paid all of your fines, costs, surcharges, and have made restitution or compensation, and completed any order of probation, conditional sentence, and incarceration (which includes time on parole and statuatory release).
