QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Common questions before you start
Can police take the fingerprints?+
Some police services and accredited private agencies provide electronic fingerprints.
How long are results valid?+
Follow the current PBC guide and sequence documents to avoid stale records.
What if a conviction is missing?+
Do not ignore the inconsistency; obtain clarification and accurate court information.
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.
