The anticipated tough-on-crime legislation that the Conservative government has promised is expected to comprise approximately ten bills addressing justice and public-safety issues. Although specifically which bills would be included is unknown, one that is most disconcerting is Bill C-23B.
Bill C-23B, intended to eliminate pardons for serious crimes, would replace the term “pardon” with “record suspension” and make the process of removing one’s record more difficult, more time-consuming, and more costly, and would allow a record suspension in more limited circumstances. Therefore, anyone with a criminal record should begin the process of applying for a pardon as soon as possible.
Since pardons in Canada are going to be more difficult to obtain due to the proposed eligibility requirements and increased submission fees, consulting a Client Specialist at Pardon Services Canada is the best method to achieving this goal. The complete application process will be handled professionally, efficiently, and discreetly. As well, Pardon Services Canada guarantees results. Anyone uncertain as to whether or not he qualifies for a pardon can request a complimentary private consultation.
Another consideration to keep in mind is the fact that United States border agents are turning people with a criminal record away much more frequently. Obtaining a US Entry Waiver is the only secure way to be allowed to enter the United States. A waiver is also required for individuals, who have been deported, agreed to voluntary departure, overstayed a previous period of admission, or have been barred entry at any time. Since the requirements are different at each district Department of Homeland Security office, having Pardon Services Canada assist is the most prudent way to obtain a waiver.
Also, people charged with a criminal offence for which there is no conviction are affected. A criminal record results even if the charge is dismissed, withdrawn, or stayed. However, the police file for such cases can be deleted.
Pardon Services Canada offers a complimentary private consultation for anyone wanting to apply for a pardon, to have his police file deleted, or to obtain a US Entry Waiver. Speak to a Client Specialist toll free at 1-8-NOW-PARDON (1.866.972.7366).
