1A. What is a Standard or Basic Canada Pardon? A Standard or Basic Canada pardon is an order by the National Parole Board of Canada that removes your criminal record from CPIC (the Canadian Police Information Center s computer system), which makes it unavailable to all other Canadian police detachments. As well, your record can no longer be accessed by APIS (Advance Passenger Information System) a computer system used by U.S. Customs airport officials. To get a Pardon you must prove to the National Parole Board that you have maintained a record of good conduct since you were charged with your last offense. Once pardoned your criminal record information may still be seen by the arresting police detachment on their internal PIRS or PROS system, however such information is usually not accessed if nothing comes up on CPIC. 1B. What is a Alberta Pardons Customized Canada Pardon? For qualified applicants, our Customized Canada pardon not only removes your criminal record from CPIC and APIS , but it also includes a File Destruction service that makes formal requests to have your local police records destroyed, along with all trace evidence that you were ever arrested, charged, fingerprinted, photographed, went to court, etc.. Doing this assures that no existing or future government agency will be able to access any information regarding your offense(s), which could then be used against you. Note: for some sexual convictions your record cannot be permanently destroyed by any means. Note: File Destructions for convictions are usually only granted after 10 years or more have passed without any further charges, investigations or convictions, and if you have multiple convictions the police like to see at least 15 years of crime-free activity. 2. Do you process out-of-province and out-of-country Canadian Pardon applications? Yes, we can process applications for Canadians living anywhere in the world, as long as the area receives courier deliveries. 3A. How much does a Standard or Basic Canada Pardon cost? Our standard fee for processing a Canada Pardon application is: $479.00, plus 5% GST ($23.95) = $502.95. Price includes a $319.00 administration fee (also includes free priority service, application tracking, email updates and express courier fees), the $50 National Parole Board filing fee, $50.00 for Document Certification fees, and $60.00 to cover Court and Local Police Record Search fees. Note: There will be a $70.00 biometric fingerprinting fee charged by Alberta Fingerprinting Services located on the second floor (which will speed up the processing of your Certified Record). If you live outside the Edmonton area we will arrange for you to be fingerprinted at the nearest biometric fingerprinting office or your local police station. There you will have to pay between $55 and $70, including the $25.00 mail-in or $35.00 electronic submission fee. Unfortunately, processing times for ink fingerprints are currently 6 to 10 months. Note: Additional fees may be incurred if you have multiple offenses where fines were imposed within 15-years of your application date, or if you have served in the Canadian Military, or if you have lived in more than 1 city within the last 5 years. Additional court record, local police record and military record searches are $60.00 each plus GST. 3B. How much does a Customized Canada Pardon cost?

For 1 to 3 Summary offenses, it is currently taking about 4 months to assemble a Pardon application and then it takes the National Parole Board about 2 months to process the application and grant a Pardon. If you have 4 or more offenses and/or have committed an Indictable offense(s) or you have recent charges on your Local Police Record Check, it may take up to 10 months to process your application, after it is received by the Board, unless it is prioritized . Of course being biometrically fingerprinted also speeds up application processing times. For the most up-to-date processing times please see Our Current Processing Times . 5. Can you get the NPB to rush my Pardon application, and if so how much more will I have to pay? Yes, and the fee is $120.00 plus GST. In order to get the National Parole Board to prioritize a Pardon application that would normally take up to 12 months to process, extreme hardship must be shown pending a Pardon, i.e. you are unemployable due to having a record. For more information, CLICK HERE . 6. Am I guaranteed that I will get a Pardon? We guarantee that you will get a Canada Pardon as long as you are eligible to receive one. This means the RCMP have not stated that a criminal record does not exist, you have not recently committed any offense(s) that would void your eligibility or indicate that you are still deemed to be a high risk to re-offend, and all fines have been paid and all penalties and/or dispositions have been served. 7. Can you help me if I received a Pardon on my own and now wish to enter the U.S.? Unfortunately, due to the many complications that often arise, we can only provide US Waiver application assistance to you, if required. 8. Does a Standard or Basic Pardon allow me to enter the U.S.? Unfortunately, US Customs does not recognize a Canada Pardon if they become aware of it. If you have never been denied entry, deported or interviewed by US Customs, and US Customs has never accessed your criminal record via CPIC or APIS prior to you being granted a Canada Pardon, and your criminal record was properly sealed, then US Customs will no longer be able to access it on CPIC or APIS . However, U.S. Customs officials have several ways of finding out if you have ever committed a criminal offense, or if you were ever arrested and fingerprinted. If you are not properly prepared to answer their wide assortment of questions you could be denied entry, face property seizures, short-term imprisonment, and be banned from entering the U.S. in the future. Our Standard and Customized Canada Pardon removes your criminal record from CPIC and APIS , and includes all the information you will need to navigate U.S. Customs. Our Customized Pardon also includes a File Destruction service that makes formal requests to have your local police records destroyed, along with all trace evidence that you were ever arrested, charged, fingerprinted, photographed, went to court, etc. Note: All passports are now encoded with an FPS (FingerPrint Service) number if you have a criminal record on CPIC at the time your Passport was granted. Note: If you were at one time involved or suspected of international gang related activities, or you have multiple sexual assault charges, a copy of your record could have been sent to the FBI and/or placed on Interpol. Such records cannot be destroyed through either Pardon process. Note: File Destructions for convictions are usually only granted after 10 years or more have passed without any further charges, investigations or convictions, and if you have multiple convictions or Indictable convictions the police like to see at least 15 years of crime-free activity. 9. When can I apply for a Pardon? According to the Criminal Records Act you are eligible to apply for a Pardon 3 years after completion of a summary offense, and 5 years after completion of an indictable offense. 10. Can my Pardon application be denied, and if so would I get a refund? If you are found to be not of good conduct your application can be denied. There are no refunds once an application has been completed and submitted to the NBP. 11. How do I apply for a Pardon? You can call our office and apply over the telephone or fill out our secure online application form and submit it to us along with your online payment. 12. Does a Pardon allow me to enter other countries? Almost all other countries except for the U.S. will not ask you self-incriminating questions if they don t see a conviction on CPIC. Of course if you freely admit to being Pardoned or to having a criminal record in the past, you could be questioned at length and possibly denied entry. For more information on traveling abroad when you still have a criminal record you should contact the Consulate General s office . 13. Do you provide free information to people who are applying for a Pardon on their own? No. This is due to the many time consuming complications that arise which take our staff away from the duties and responsibilities of serving our clients. 14. Does a Pardon have limitations? Yes. If you have been pardoned for a sexual offense under the Criminal Records Act your record will be kept closed and separate, but your name will be flagged in the Canada National Repository. This means that if you are going to work around vulnerable people such as children, seniors or disabled individuals, you will be required to disclose this information to the employer before doing so.
