Application for Pardon Canada - Fast Approval (2023)



- Application for a Pardon in Canada - How do you get fast approval?

- Every client we speak to wants to get their Pardon fast.

- And we get it.  The faster you can get your Pardon, which is now called a Record Suspension, the faster you can move on with your life.

- To get your Pardon fast, you need to work around these 2 realities.

- First, you cannot apply before you are eligible.

- And second, there are no ways to “cut the line” to speed up your approval process.

- However, knowing these 2 realities, to get your Pardon fast, you need to get these 3 things right.



1/ Get the Measurable Benefit/Sustained Rehabilitation Form right



- The hardest part of the Record Suspension Application is getting the Measurable Benefit/Sustained Rehabilitation Form right.

- People have problems with this Form because the answers are not straightforward.

- You need to answer the questions in a way that will convince the Parole Board of Canada that you deserve to get your Record Suspension.

- Make sure you avoid these 3 mistakes.

- First, don’t challenge the validity of your conviction.

- Second, don’t give one-word answers, write in-depth explanations.

- And third, don’t say you “can’t remember.”  



2/ Apply at the earliest possible date



- The Parole Board of Canada is clear that you cannot apply before your eligibility date.

- So, the fastest way to get your Pardon or Record Suspension is to apply on the very first day you are eligible.

- To get this timing right, you should start your document preparation early because document preparation takes time.

- Ideally, you should start about 1-year before you are eligible.

- Doing so will put you in a position to get your Pardon as fast as possible.



3/ Make sure there are no mistakes



- This may seem obvious, but the reality is the Parole Board of Canada returns a huge number of Record Suspension Applications due to mistakes.

- Mistakes will cost you time and, in some cases, rejection.

- The good news is most of these mistakes are avoidable.

- If you want a checklist of mistakes to avoid, reach out to us.  We created a “Pardon Success Checklist.”  This checklist has more than 25 points of failure in your Record Suspension Application.  This checklist covers what we’ve learned to ensure you get your Pardon approved by the Parole Board of Canada.  Our Pardon Success Checklist is free, and I’ve included a link in the description of this video.

Stunt Driving Defence Costs: Why Choosing the Cheapest Lawyer Is the Most Expensive Mistake When Jonathan Cohen of Nextlaw discusses legal representation costs with prospective clients facing stunt driving charges, he consistently encounters the same flawed question: "How much does defence cost?" As Ontario's leading stunt driving lawyer, Jon Cohen has analyzed the economics of traffic defence across thousands of cases and identified a critical reality—the relevant question isn't what you'll pay for representation, but rather what conviction will cost compared to your legal investment. This comprehensive analysis examines the true financial mathematics of stunt driving defence, why block fee structures protect clients, and how choosing representation based solely on price represents the single most expensive decision defendants make.

Why Office Location is Irrelevant When Choosing Ontario's Best Stunt Driving Lawyer When facing stunt driving charges under Section 172(1) of Ontario's Highway Traffic Act, many defendants make a critical error that could compromise their defence: choosing legal representation based solely on proximity to their courthouse. Jon Cohen, legal representative at Nextlaw—Ontario's leading stunt driving lawyer—explains why this geography-based approach is not only outdated but potentially harmful to your case outcome. The Virtual Court Revolution Changed Everything Since 2021, Ontario's court system has undergone a fundamental transformation that most defendants don't realize. Court appearances for legal representatives are now conducted one hundred percent online across all fifty-two Provincial Offences Courts in Ontario.

As a partner at Nextlaw, Ontario's leading firm in handling stunt driving offenses, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative effect of technology on legal defense strategies. My name is Jonathan Cohen, and I want to share how the digital revolution, particularly the adoption of Zoom for court proceedings, has reshaped the approach to handling stunt driving charges. This shift from traditional in-person appearances to virtual court sessions has fundamentally altered the defense landscape, offering broader access to justice for defendants. Navigating Pre-Pandemic Court Appearances Before the pandemic, the norm of physically attending court posed significant logistical challenges, especially for those facing charges far from their residence. The requirement to travel, sometimes across great distances, for court dates added a layer of complexity to the defense process. This was particularly taxing if travel became difficult or impossible due to a suspended license. The Con...
