QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Common questions before you start
Can I send a docket printout instead?+
Use the documents and format required by the current PBC guide.
What if the court closed?+
Contact the successor court or records authority and document the search.
Do I need records for withdrawn charges?+
Local police checks and the application questions may still require accurate information; review the current guide.
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.
