A record suspension, formerly called a pardon, doesn’t change the fact that someone was convicted of a crime, but it does stop that information from being shared. This increases access to employment and educational opportunities, helps people secure rental housing and allows them to travel outside of Canada.“Criminal records are more common that people imagine. There are many people from all walks of life in our society who have an outstanding criminal record.” Fraser said.
The record suspension does not effect restrainer orders, firearms restrictions, and driving restrictions.
