Canadian Pardon / Record Suspension
A record suspension (formerly a pardon) sets your past convictions aside so they don’t show on a standard criminal record check — opening doors for jobs, volunteering, travel and peace of mind. SekCheck helps you apply, including the fingerprints the process requires.
What a record suspension does
Once granted by the Parole Board of Canada, a record suspension removes your conviction record from the active CPIC database, so a routine criminal record check comes back clear. It can make a real difference to employment, volunteering and travel.
