It is with humility and profound gratitude that I accept this pardon. I feel like a new person because I am able to visit my family in the United States and not have to worry. For so many years this has been a burden on my shoulders. That has now been lifted, thanks to your generosity and help.

IS A PARDON / RECORD SUSPENSION RIGHT FOR ME?
A Pardon / Record Suspension allows people who were convicted of a criminal offense, but have completed their sentence and demonstrated they are law-abiding citizens, to enjoy the benefits of their criminal record removal. Pardons / Record Suspensions are issued by the Federal Government of Canada. This means that any search of the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) will not show that you had a criminal record, or that you were issued a Pardon / Record Suspension.
PARDON / RECORD SUSPENSION DETAILS
To prepare the Pardon / Record Suspension application, many documents must be collected. Acquiring the proper supporting documents takes time; therefore, it is a good idea to start preparing the application in advance of your eligibility date. In fact, most people cannot determine what their eligibility date is until after they have acquired RCMP reports and relevant court documents.
