Criminal pardons

If you’re looking for information about pot pardons click here.

Applications for criminal pardons have a waiting period based on your offence.  They vary in time and can be anywhere from three years to ten years before you can apply. If you make errors in your application it could add months to the processing time and can affect the result of your criminal pardon application.

Pardons are given because the law understands that a mistake you may have made some time ago should not have to haunt you for life, if you’ve become an upstanding member of society.  This means you don’t have any new charges or convictions pending and you can prove it.

The process to apply for a criminal pardon involves getting the right documents and digital fingerprinting and filling out a 22-page application.  We’ve worked in the courts for almost twenty years and have seen people with errors, or not the right language be denied.  We started PardonYou.ca as a place where you can confidentially get advice and we will fill out and submit your application for you.  With a free consultation we can give you honest advice and if you’re not likely to be successful we will tell you before taking you on as a client.  You really have nothing to lose.  Fill out the contact form or call us and we’ll reach out to book an appointment.
