Why does not paying fines affect my eligibility?

The fine is a part of the sentence. The sentence must be completed to become eligible for the Pardon/Record Suspension. Please note that outstanding traffic, civil or family court fines will affect your eligibility.

What is my eligibility?

Once we have received your RCMP report and have gathered all the necessary court documents we will be able to confirm your eligibility for a Pardon/Record Suspension.

Why so long? Can I speed up the process?

It takes time for the RCMP, courts, local police, PBC and other government agencies to process the necessary documents for your application. If we find that these agencies are taking longer than expected, we have a complex tracking system to follow up with requested documents.
