QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Common questions before you start
Is a hybrid offence always summary?+
No. Court records should confirm how the prosecution proceeded.
What if I also have an indictable conviction?+
The complete record can affect timing and processing.
Is summary processing faster?+
PBC publishes different service standards after acceptance.
Do I need a lawyer or service company?+
No. You can apply directly to the Parole Board of Canada. Our independent service helps organize records, check completeness and prepare the application; it does not provide special access or guarantee approval.
When am I eligible to apply?+
The law that applies can depend on the date of your first offence, the type of offence and when every part of your sentence was completed, including probation and payments. Start with the assessment rather than guessing a waiting period.
Will it let me enter the United States?+
No. A Canadian record suspension does not guarantee entry or visa privileges in another country. U.S. admissibility and waivers are separate matters.
