Understanding the Role of Pardon Services Canada
While the Parole Board of Canada is the official and only federal agency responsible for making actual pardon decisions, there are service companies like Pardon Services Canada that manage the time-consuming and cumbersome process for people seeking a pardon.
Ideally what you're looking for is a federal pardon waiver service--yes, that's us--unless you'd like to spend your sacred time-off filing gruelling paperwork and keeping up with all of the legal changes and loopholes that waivers require.
The Function of Third-Party Services
Make no mistake, though, a third-party service provider like Pardon Services Canada or any other provider cannot issue or grant a pardon. We make the process easier, act as a middle-man, stand in for you as legal counsel and do it all at a fairly reasonable rate.
We submit a pardon application to the Parole Board of Canada on behalf of a client--you! The Parole Board of Canada treats all pardon applications in the same way. Beyond making the process easy on you, we also make it easy on them. They get the exact paperwork that they're looking for.
The Importance of Proper Documentation
Think about the human component of the process. Your favourite client is always going to be the one that makes your job easy. You'll put off the work if the client misplaced half of their paperwork.
That having been said, using an intermediary will not speed up the processing of your pardon application ahead of anyone who gets all of the paperwork correct. It doesn't give your application special status, or guarantee you a pardon. Companies claiming they can speed this process up are making false statements, see the update on this Fraud Alert directly from Parole Board of Canada.
