Pardon (Record Suspension) & US Entry Waiver
Having a criminal record can limit your ability to move forward in life—whether you’re applying for a job, volunteering, renting a home, or crossing the border. At CT Lawyers, we offer comprehensive legal support to help you clear your record through a Record Suspension (formerly known as a Pardon) and legally enter the United States with a U.S. Entry Waiver. We manage the entire process for you from start to finish—accurately, efficiently, and with no hidden fees.
Record Suspension (Pardon)
A Record Suspension removes your criminal record from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) database, meaning your conviction won’t appear on criminal background checks. This can significantly improve your chances of securing employment, education, volunteer opportunities, and regaining peace of mind.
As of March 13, 2012, with the passage of Bill C-10 (the Safe Streets and Communities Act), the term “Pardon” was officially replaced by “Record Suspension.”
Eligibility Requirements
You may be eligible for a Record Suspension if:
- You have completed all sentences, including jail time, probation, and fines.
- You have waited the required time:
- 5 years for summary offences
- 10 years for indictable offences
What a Record Suspension Does
- Removes your conviction from public record (criminal background checks).
- Allows you to reintegrate into society and move forward with confidence.
- Makes your record accessible only with your written consent or approval from the Public Safety Minister of Canada.
Why It Matters
Imagine applying for a job or crossing the border, only to be judged for a past mistake. A record suspension ensures your old conviction doesn’t continue to follow you for the rest of your life. It restores your dignity and removes unnecessary barriers.
U.S. Entry Waiver
If you have a Canadian criminal record, you are likely inadmissible to the United States and risk being denied entry, detained, or even banned. A U.S. Entry Waiver is the only legal way to enter the U.S. with a criminal record.
What is a U.S. Waiver?
A U.S. Waiver of Inadmissibility (Form I-192) allows individuals with a criminal history to legally enter the U.S. for business, vacation, or family visits. Waivers can be granted for 1, 2, or 5 years.
The Risks Without a Waiver
Attempting to enter the U.S. without a waiver—even with minor charges—can result in:
- Immediate denial of entry
- Confiscation of personal property
- Temporary or permanent bans
- Detention and removal proceedings
At CT Lawyers, we handle everything for you—accurately and professionally. We ensure your application meets the high standards of Parole Board of Canada, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security.
