Pardons and the Canadian Government

July 19, 2011

There has been a flood of media attention recently regarding the Canadian Government’s proposal to alter the Pardons system. This new criminal legislation is certain to be one of the first measures to be pushed through parliament as the Conservative Government has pledged to pass this new bill within 100 days of achieving a majority. Express Pardons recaps the importance of filing your Pardon application today before its too late.

  • Cost – Apply now and pay only a fraction of the cost before the new bill is passed, and prices head upwards of $600.00.


  • Eligibility – Eligibility requirements are going to tighten and many of those requiring a Pardon will no longer be eligible.
  • Heavier wait times – The Canadian Governments new bill includes a potential increase in the length of time to approve a Pardon application from a current 6-8 months to possibly years.
  • Increase your Odds – By Applying for your Pardon today, take comfort in knowing that your chances of being approved are still based on the current system in place. The new bill will not go retrograde, meaning all pardons currently being processed in the system will still fall under current Pardon application guidelines.
  • The is NOW to consider your future and what holding a criminal records means for you. Start the process today before you have lost your chance for good.

There is still time to get your Pardon as the new legislation has not yet been passed. The Conservative Government has clearly prioritized this bill and it is just a matter of time before the gauntlet has dropped. If you have a criminal record and require a Canadian Pardon then now is the time to Apply for your Pardon.
