Record Suspension / Canadian Pardon

A Record Suspension, formerly known as a Canadian Pardon, allows an eligible criminal record to be kept separate from other federal criminal records. It may help reduce certain barriers as you pursue employment, education, housing and other opportunities.
Employment Opportunities
Reduce barriers that may come up during many employment background checks.
Education & Career Development
Pursue programs, volunteering and professional growth with fewer obstacles.
Housing Opportunities
Approach rental applications with greater confidence.
Peace of Mind
Move forward knowing your record is kept separate from federal records.
