Can I apply for a pardon myself?

There are 3 things you need to know about the question, “Can I apply for a Pardon myself?”

1/ The answer is yes



- The quick answer to the question, “Can I apply for a pardon myself”? Is, yes.

- You can apply for a pardon in Canada, which is now called record suspension, without any outside help.

- You do not need to hire any law firm or pardon agency to help you with your pardon or record suspension application.



2/ Beware of fraud



- Getting a Pardon is life-changing.

- And because a lot of people need help with their pardon or record suspension application, this has led to the rise of fraudulent services.

- These pardon service companies are hard to identify because they intentionally design their websites and the name of their companies to look like they are part of the Canadian government.

- They want you to believe they are an extension of the Parole Board of Canada to get your business.

- And this can lead to terrible consequences that can delay you from getting your Pardon or, in the worst case, can lead to complete rejection.

- The Canadian government and the Parole Board of Canada do not endorse any company to prepare your Pardon or Record Suspension Application.

- So be very aware of fraud.



3/ The hardest part of the Pardon Application



- The hardest part of the pardon or record suspension application is the “Measurable Benefit Sustained Rehabilitation Form.”

- It’s in this section where we see clients need the most help.

- What makes it so hard is that the answers are NOT straightforward.

- These are open-ended questions that need to be written in a way that will get your Pardon approved.

- Make sure you don’t challenge your conviction.

- Don’t say you can’t remember.

- And don’t give one-word answers.  

- Write in-depth, well-thought-out answers.

- This section of the Record Suspension Application matters, and you need to get it right.
