New Year, New Beginnings: The Importance of Record Suspensions in 2012
At the start of 2012, people everywhere were typically establishing their New Year's resolutions. For some, it was starting an exercise regimen, setting a weight loss goal, tending to financial affairs, or determining family goals. For many others in Canada, it was getting rid of a criminal record related to a DUI, theft, or other minor offense they were charged with long ago.
New laws about Canadian pardons (record suspensions) came into effect in February that, among other changes, increased the Parole Board of Canada’s fee for Canadian record suspension applications and extended the waiting periods for record suspension eligibility. These changes understandably caused some concern for people who still bear the stigma of having a criminal record and are prevented from moving forward.
Canadian record suspensions and US entry waivers are becoming even more important for people who want to travel to the US, Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, or abroad. Make the decision to remove your record, once and for all, erase mistakes from the past, and get your New Year record suspension resolution in motion today.
