It has been a long time since we were covered extensively in the Media. Since we opened our doors in 2002 we have been featured and/or quoted in everything from the Globe and Mail to La Journal de Montreal, and quite a few in between. Two of my favourite articles appeared in a little weekly, […]
Update: We are now on twitter. #LOL It has been a long time since we won our information technology award from CIPA. Since then we haven’t stopped working hard to be the best pardon and waiver service in Canada. But since that award was granted the National Pardon Centre has certainly not been stagnant, especially […]
Every single day I come to work I can be guaranteed to hear a horror story from someone who experienced unpleasant behaviour from a United States Border Guard. This is not to suggest that they are all bad because considering the number of people crossing the border and the number of border guards there to […]

By far the most common crime I deal with on an average day doing pardons is DUI. No question about it. So when I came across this post from reddit.com I had to repost it to my blog here. I suggest linking through to the actual post itself to read the discussion that followed. It is definitely […]
MONTREAL, Oct. 19 /CNW Telbec/ – The National Pardon Centre-Canada’s not-for-profit pardon centre that assists Canadians from coast to coast with the clearance of criminal records-is now a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) accredited, electronic fingerprinting and identification agency. Fingerprinting is the first step in any pardon or waiver application. It is a process that […]
What should you get if you par for a pardon? The first obvious answer is that you should eventually receive a pardon from the National Parole Board of Canada. I say eventually because any pardon application takes some time to prepare, submit, review and eventually grant. It doesn’t matter what the circumstances are, the company […]
I was reading an article the other day about how the Russian search engine Yandex is gaining in popularity. Of course it will never rival google for any of us here in the English speaking world but nonetheless I couldn’t resist searching “National Pardon Centre” just to see what popped up. Well here you are. […]
