  • What is Expungement?
  • Expungement is a legal process that allows
    individuals to have their criminal records
    permanently erased or sealed from public access.
    In Canada, the term "expungement" is often used
    interchangeably with "record suspension"
    (previously known as a pardon). However, true
    expungement, where the record is completely
    erased, is rare and typically reserved for cases
    where the law that was broken is deemed unjust or
    the conviction was found to be wrongful. For most
    individuals, a record suspension is the more
    attainable goal, which effectively separates
    their criminal record from public records.
  • Why is Expungement Required?
  • A criminal record can significantly impact
    various aspects of an individual's life, long
    after the sentence has been served.
  • Heres why expungement or record suspension is
    often
  • necessary
  • Employment Opportunities Many employers conduct
    background checks, and a criminal record can be a
    major obstacle to securing a job.
  • Travel Freedoms Countries like the United States
    have strict entry policies for individuals with
    criminal records. Expungement can improve the
    chances of being granted entry.
  • Housing Landlords often perform background
    checks, and a clean record can improve the
    chances of securing rental accommodations.
  • Volunteer Work Many volunteer organizations
    require a clean record, especially for positions
    involving vulnerable populations.
  • Personal Reputations A criminal record can
    tarnish an individual's reputation, affecting
    personal and professional relationships.

  • Psychological Relief Clearing ones record can
    provide a sense of closure and relief from past
    mistakes.
  • Benefits of Expungement
  • Enhanced Employment Prospects With an expunged
    record or a record suspension, your criminal
    record will not appear in most background checks,
    making it easier to obtain employment.
  • Increased Travel Opportunities While a Canadian
    pardon does not guarantee entry to other
    countries, it can significantly enhance the
    likelihood of being granted entry.
  • Better Housing Options A clean record increases
    the chances of approval when applying for rental
    housing.
  • Access to Volunteer Work An expunged record
    allows for more volunteer opportunities,
    particularly in sensitive roles.
  • Peace of Mind Expungement can provide
    psychological relief and help individuals move
    forward without the burden of past convictions.
