REASONS TO GET A PARDON
• Obtaining or Losing a Job
In many fields of work a criminal record check is required, and although it may have been many, many years since you have committed an offence it can be the deciding factor of if the company will hire you, or another candidate. It also doesn’t provide you immunity to future criminal record checks which can result in a loss of employment.
• Self-Employment
Although you may work for yourself, you are still hired as an independent contractor to complete work, in some cases, you may be asked to complete a criminal record check before being hired to do the job.
• Immigration
If you are in Canada and hoping to complete an application to have family members come to Canada with you, your application is likely to be rejected if you have a criminal record.
• Home rentals
Many places that you may apply to rent now require criminal record checks, and may decide to rent to another applicant who does not have a criminal record
• Peace of Mind
Removing your criminal record is a large part of removing the stigma and shame associated with a criminal past. You may know that it was a mistake that you will never do again, but the people around you may not know that.
