Record Suspension / Canadian Pardon

Don't let past mistakes follow you into your future. Get Clear Now!

A Record Suspension is an official authorization by the Canadian Government, which allows individuals who have been convicted of criminal offenses to suspend their criminal record. Regardless of whether charges ended with a conviction, or if you have charges which were later withdrawn, dismissed, stayed, absolutely or conditionally, a police check will state that you had negative contact with the police force.

In Canada, a criminal record can impede your ability to travel across borders, obtain a job, and obtain business contracts. This all too common situation is preventable if you obtain a Record Suspension.
