January is always a busy time at the National Pardon Centre. It some cases it is because people decide that removing a criminal record<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0is their new years resolution but in a lot of cases it is because people have tried to travel over the holidays and found themselves stuck at the US border.<\/p>\n

Nobody wants to have their christmas \/ holiday plans ruined for any reason and least of all for a criminal record. Getting stuck at the border because you procrastinated on a pardon application\u00c2\u00a0is a tough thing to tell the kids. Unfortunately it is a story that I listen to more than a few times in the course of a typical January at work.<\/p>\n

So what I woudl like everyone to realize is that you need to make sure your criminal record has been dealt with as soon as possible. Don’t wait until you lose a job or get caught illegally entering the United States. Just go ahead and get your pardon granted\u00c2\u00a0before it comes out to haunt you. Otherwise you are just making a small headache into a migraine.<\/p>\n

And finally the last thing I would like to say is HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! I’m calling it now, right here, today. 2009 has big things in store for us all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
