What is a Record Suspension?
A criminal record is a major impediment to your life, as it can limit access to employment, career development, and travel outside the country. To clear it, you must apply for a record suspension, also known as a pardon.
A record suspension allows a person’s file to be isolated from other records: all information about the convictions is removed from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) computer system, and permission from the Minister of Public Safety is required to consult it.
