Your criminal record is a burden

Carrying the burden of a criminal record presents real obstacles that can severely hinder your life. Most people cannot empathize with such a burden unless they themselves have a criminal record. This is ironic because statistically, everyone knows at least one person with a criminal record – whether they are aware of it or not.

We help thousands of Canadians who are struggling to rebuild their lives because of the negative effects of their criminal record.

These are husbands and wives, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, students, employees, business owners, professionals or retired elders; people from all walks of life who for the most part, have long ago paid their debt to society for the crime they committed. Many of these people were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, while others had acted out of desperation or impulse rather than out of their true character. The common factor with everyone we help, is that a Pardon and/or a U.S. Entry Waiver will remove at least one of these obstacles:

They have lost their job, or are unable to find rewarding work to support themselves or their family. They are unable to participate in community activites. They are unable to leave Canada and travel internationally for business, leisure or family/medical emergencies. Increased insurance rates as well as lost custody battles are other examples of some less common problems brought on by a criminal record.

Your criminal record can be one of the worst financial and social constraints in your life. Unfortunately, unless you take action to remove your record with a Canadian Pardon (also known as a Record Suspension), your criminal past will stay on your record indefinitely.
