    When you travel to the United States from Canada you clear customs at the airport you depart from, rather than the airport you arrive in. In other words, you need to clear customs before you even get the plane or – obviously – leave the country. It probably seems obvious to most of you but…

    Please note that a pardon and a record suspension are the same thing. It is only the name and some specifics of the program that are different. The pardon program was changed to record suspension following the Conservative government’s omnibus crime bill C-10. Contrary to what you may have a heard a record suspension does…

    FINGERPRINTING Services What makes you unique? Many things, but your fingerprints are most commonly used to identify you especially if you have a criminal record. If you are planning on applying for a pardon or waiver fingerprinting is a requirement.

    You were never convicted, so why do you have a criminal record? You’d actually forgotten all about the offence, because your lawyer told you not to worry it would be erased automatically. But was it? Today you’re applying for a job, wanting to volunteer, and it’s coming back to haunt you. Good thing is you…

    When beginning the process of obtaining a Canadian Pardon the first step is to have a set of fingerprints taken. Keep in mind that this is non criminal fingerprinting. It is not the same process as when you were arrested. This can be done by most police detachments as well as private fingerprinting organizations.  If…

    Fingerprinting in Canada is the first step in both a pardon and a waiver application and must be completed by all persons making these applications. I am often asked by clients applying for a pardon why it is necessary, seeing as the police took the fingerprints at the time of arrest. There is a difference, of…

    Anyone working in anything remotely security related in Quebec will have to perform background checks in addition to paying extra fees (who would have thought?) for a permit. The bill adopted four years ago came into effect recently and one thing that is clear is anyone with a criminal record will have to have it pardoned…

    The pardon services industry slows down considerably in the summer which is good for vacation time but bad for business. It is understandable that fewer people have a pardon or waiver on their mind. When the sun is out and the weather is warm most of us are focusing on vacation and barbecues. We don’t…

    When it comes to fielding questions about the pardon and waiver process I get a lot of the same, over and over. One of the common questions I count on being asked on a daily basis is “what do I have on my criminal record”? The answer is simple and always the same. Your criminal…
