Facts on Pardons
This suggested post by another company is clearly false and misleading.
Contrary to ads like the one appearing here in this post that are routinely appearing on Facebook pardons are NOT being eliminated. The Conservative government did in fact make some changes to the program but the changes took place quite some time ago and there is no new legislation being proposed at the present time.
How did Pardons change?
- The term pardon was replaced with record suspension. However they are the same thing.
- Waiting periods for eligibility were increased from 3 and 5 years to 5 and 10 years.
- A three strikes rule was implemented for anyone with MORE than 3 indictable offences each of which was sentenced to more than 2 years in prison.
- Sexual offences involving minors are no longer eligible for a pardon.
What else do I need to know?
You should know that a company operating under several pseudonyms is falsely promoting the idea that pardons are about to be eliminated. This is a hard sales tactic and it is one that I am actively trying to stop.
What company is doing this?
I am not sure what the parent company is called but some of the following names are associated with these fraudulent ads:
- Federal Pardons and Waiver Services
- Pardons and Waivers Canada
- Federal Pardons
There are many more but it isn’t necessary to list them all.
What can I do?
If you are worried that someone is giving you false information then stop right away. Do not give a credit card number. Research the company in question thoroughly and only sign up with a pardon and waiver service once you are comfortable the company you are dealing with is reputable.
What else?
If you have any questions or concerns about fraudulent pardon companies or anything else to do with pardons (record suspensions) feel free to give me a call. I’m happy to chat and I’m always honest.
Sincerely,
Michael Ashby
