George Bush Pardons 14
In the twilight of his presidency, George W. Bush pardoned 14 yesterday. There was no Martha Stewart or Conrad Black or Marion Jones, but records were cleared for 14 whom had shown model behaviour since their sentencing.
I don't have a criminal record...or do I?
Many people in Canada are not even aware of their criminal record.
A common misconception is that a record will automatically disappear after a certain amount of time. This is not true. It is something that must be dealt with otherwise it could potentially hurt your chances of getting a job, a promotion, or may even lead to your future detainment or deportation from another country.
Some people may have been arrested once and released, and not charged, fined, or punished, and yet still may have a file in a database without their knowing. This can get them turned back at the border, or even arrested, or create problems later on.
Look into it. All you may need is a criminal record purge

Ball and Chain
Pardon Services Canada understands how a criminal record can be like a ball and chain. In fact we have taken the ball and chain metaphor to the extreme. We have it in our ads, we have it on our website.
A ball and chain is a limit to freedom. A ball and chain is a symbol of suppression. A ball and chain is a sign that you are still under the control of a system.
Pardon Services Canada represents the key, to open the lock, and set you free from your ball and chain once and for all.

Question of the Week
Q.
Where can I go to find out if I still have a criminal record? It was a minor offence that happened over 20 years ago. Aren't minor offences automatically deleted by the authorities after a certain number of years?
A.
No. In Canada most criminal records are on file forever. Even after your death. That is, unless you obtain a pardon. The charges that get removed are conditional/absolute discharges and youth convictions. For more information look to our FAQ section on the website.
If you like, we provide a Canadian criminal record search function. We charge $150 for this, and it allows you to see what others see.
