Why a Pardon?
A criminal record is an impediment to where you can work, volunteer, travel and live. It will affect every facet of your social and economic well being. Anyone convicted of a criminal offence has a criminal record.
Many people are not aware of the fact that once you have been fingerprinted and a charge has been laid, even if it has been dropped, you have been acquitted, or received an absolute, or conditional discharge you have a non-conviction criminal record and may be unable to pass a police clearance. Thus, even after obtaining a Canadian Pardon we advise purging, and expunging your record.
Steps in your Accu-metrics Expedited Pardon Application
Accu-metrics will take your fingerprints digitally and obtain your RCMP official record of any registered convictions, charges throughout Canada.
Applicants are often surprised that some older convictions are not registered or there are multiple convictions that you are not aware of.
Accu-metrics will acquire certification from every court jurisdiction where you have had a conviction and certify that your penalty has been served and any fines paid.
We will contact all local police services in the jurisdiction where you have been charged or convicted and obtain required certificates.
If you have served in the military we will obtain your military conduct report.
Accu-metrics will guide you in obtaining character reference letters and determining whether your application should include consideration for compassionate circumstances.
We will then petition the National Parole Board for your pardon.
The Importance of Character Reference Letters
Character reference letters may be very important in ensuring your pardon is obtained in an expedited matter.
To understand the importance of character references letters you should know a little about the structure of the National Parole Board who will be reviewing your application.
The board is an independent administrative tribunal that has exclusive authority for making decisions to grant, deny, and revoke pardons under the Criminal Records Act and the Criminal Code of Canada.
The board is an agency within the Ministry of Public Safety Canada and is composed of 72 members in regional offices across the country.
In reviewing pardons, the board maintains high standards of integrity and independence and performs its duties with sensitivity but in reviewing a completed paper application, it is difficult to develop a sense of compassion and sensibility.
Character reference letters that speak from the heart and indicate your exemplary conduct and character since your conviction and mention positive aspects of your life, give a personal meaning to the application that is helpful in ensuring a timely pardon. Accu-metrics will guide you through this process.
Grounds of compassion
Accu-metrics will review your status under the Royal Perogative of Mercy 2001 (RPM).
The RPM is a perogative exercised in Canada involving clemency in certain cases and is granted usually on recommendation from the Minister of Public Safety or another Minister. It is used where justice, humanity, and compassion are served by overriding ridged procedures.
Accu-metrics will review your personal circumstances and help construct a case for special status if appropriate.

Withdrawn charges

What happens to your criminal record?
After a pardon is issued your record is removed from searchable systems (CPIC) within a 30 days period. The pardon board issues a directive to all federal agencies including the RCMP to implement this policy.
The pardon board requires local police agencies to follow this procedure within 90 days, and all court records are removed and placed under seal with no access except by you.
U.S. Waiver
A Canadian pardon will not remove your name from the U.S. Customs and Border Services data base of persons prohibited from U.S. entry. You may be in their data base for a variety of reasons which include prior charges and convictions in Canada, illegal entry to the U.S. on previous occasions and illegally working in the U.S. Unfortunately there is no certain way of ascertaining what is stored in the U.S. computer system because all this information is considered classified. U.S. Customs may be tolerant of certain minor offences such as driving under the influence of alcohol, juvenile delinquency, trespassing etc., but in all cases allowing entry is at the discretion of the individual Border Officer you encounter.
There are certain crimes which are regarded by the U.S. as crimes of moral turpitude and here there is no doubt that you will be denied entry. These offences would include drug possession or trafficking, fraud, arson, blackmail, robbery etc. You will absolutely require a waiver for U.S. entry if ever convicted or charges with a crime of moral turpitude.
If you have reason to be concerned Accu-metrics should apply for your U.S. Waiver which will allow unconditional entry. Waivers are issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security whose authority overrides any discretionary powers of U.S. Customs and Border Services agents.
The fee for a waiver is $199.00 plus fingerprinting costs of $49.00 plus $25.00 for an RCMP certificate, which Accu-metrics will obtain for you. When your final U.S. waiver application is filed there is a fee payable to U.S. Homeland Security of $545.00 U.S.

Bill C-23 Changes are Counterproductive
Accu-metrics believes the proposed changes to the Criminal Records Act will make it more restrictive, are unjust, and counter-productive.
Leave aside the cosmetic change in name form pardon to record suspension the proposed changes may cause serious social and economic consequences.
The National Parole Board has always had the right to grant, deny, or revoke a pardon, and since every case is considered on its own merits it is the responsibility of the appointees of the National Parole Board to exercise that judgement for which they were named to the Board. That discretion is of course subject to social norms and policies of the day. The proposed sweeping changes initiated by a few odorous applications will affect hundreds of thousands who have paid for their mistakes, but could face employment and other opportunities being jeopardized for extended periods.
Some individuals may be forced into prolonged difficult socio-economic circumstances that may not bode well for society. William Gladstone had it right, “Justice delayed is justice denied.”
Accu-metrics continues to assist those who wish to obtain a pardon.
