The process of applying for a pardon for a criminal record in Canada is a long one that can take anywhere from 10 to 18 months. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s faster. The process includes completing a significant amount of paperwork, obtaining fingerprints, and ensuring that all the information required is accurate. Top all this off with a dash of confusion while coordinating communication with police departments, making payments for government services, and maintaining your sanity to get all this done … and you might end up with a recipe for rejection.
In fact, approximately 44 percent of pardon applications are rejected. That rejection can result in lost job opportunities, impact your ability to travel, and ultimately not have your name cleared.
