The Conservative government did in fact make some changes to the program but the changes took place quite some time ago and there is no new legislation being proposed at the present time.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How did Pardons change?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">The term pardon was replaced with record suspension. However they are the same thing.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Waiting periods for eligibility were increased from 3 and 5 years to 5 and 10 years.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">A three strikes rule was implemented for anyone with MORE than 3 indictable offences each of which was sentenced to more than 2 years in prison.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Sexual offences involving minors are no longer eligible for a pardon.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What else do I need to know?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">You should know that a company operating under several pseudonyms is falsely promoting the idea that pardons are about to be eliminated. This is a hard sales tactic and it is one that I am actively trying to stop.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What company is doing this?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">I am not sure what the parent company is called but some of the following names are associated with these fraudulent ads:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Federal Pardons and Waiver Services<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Pardons and Waivers Canada<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Federal Pardons<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There are many more but it isn&#8217;t necessary to list them all.<\/p>\n<h2>What can I do?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">If you are worried that someone is giving you false information then stop right away. Do not give a credit card number. Research the company in question thoroughly and only sign up with a pardon and waiver service once you are comfortable the company you are dealing with is reputable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What else?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">If you have any questions or concerns about fraudulent pardon companies or anything else to do with pardons (record suspensions) feel free to give me a call.
