Pardons for Criminal Code Convictions
**Notice of Changes to the Pardon’s Program under Bill C-10 (Safe Streets and Communities Act)**
- Effective March 13, 2012
- The term “pardon” is replaced with the term “record suspension”
- The waiting period for a record suspension has increased (see below for applicable waiting periods)
- Individuals convicted of certain offences, and those who have been convicted of more than three indictable offences, each with a sentence of two or more years, are now ineligible for a record suspension
Once you have been convicted of a criminal offence, the record of that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Having a criminal record can affect your ability to get a job or cross the border for business or travel.
Have you been convicted of a criminal offence? Unable to get a job because of something that happened years ago?

"X-Copper is amazing, the staff is professional, process is simple and they were able to get me off all charges on my ticket. I have used other ticket fighters in the past, they only can waive my demerit points, but X-Copper was able to get my fine waived too. Thanks X-Copper!"
