Canada Pardons Application – Avoid These Mistakes

Canada Pardons Application – Avoid These Mistakes
  • What mistakes do you need to watch out for in your Pardons Canada Application?
  • Every year, the Parole Board of Canada rejects a huge number of Pardons Canada Applications, which are now called Record Suspension Applications, because of mistakes.
  • The good news is that you can avoid most of these mistakes.
  • And here are 3 mistakes you need to be aware of.

1/ Are you eligible?

  • One of the biggest mistakes people make is applying before they are eligible.
  • Keep in mind these 4 rules.
  • First, can your crimes be pardoned?
  • Second, have you completed all your sentences?
  • Third, are you a law-abiding citizen?
  • And fourth, are you past your waiting period?

2/ Are you telling the truth?

  • The Parole Board of Canada is the decision maker.
  • They will decide whether you get your Canadian Pardon, now called a Canadian Record Suspension, or not.
  • The Parole Board of Canada will do a deep dive on every answer in your Record Suspension Application.
  • They will verify everything in your Pardons Canada Application.
  • In other words, they will find the truth.
  • And if you lie, your Record Suspension will be rejected.
  • Bottom line.  Tell the truth.

3/ Did you get the Measurable Benefit/Sustained Rehabilitation right?

  • The hardest part of the Record Suspension Application is the section called “Measurable Benefit Sustained Rehabilitation.”
  • The reason why it’s hard is that the answers are not straightforward.
  • They require well-thought-out, complete answers.
  • They need to be written in a way that will compel the Parole Board of Canada to grant you the Pardon you deserve.
  • When writing these answers, remember these 3 things.
  • First, don’t challenge your conviction.
  • Second, don’t say you can’t remember.
  • And third, write answers with depth.  Don’t give one-word answers.
