If you have a criminal record in Canada, waiting to apply for a record suspension might be costing you more than you think. Here’s why taking action now matters:
🔹 1. It Opens Doors to Employment Many jobs, especially in government, finance, or healthcare, require a clean record. Even if the offense was minor, employers often screen for any convictions.
🔹 2. Housing Opportunities Improve Rental applications with a criminal history are more likely to be denied. A suspension seals your record from landlord background checks.
🔹 3. You Regain Privacy A criminal record is public. A record suspension protects your reputation, privacy, and peace of mind.
🔹 4. It’s Affordable and Permanent The application fee is modest compared to the lifetime benefits. Once granted, a suspension stays in effect unless you reoffend.
🔹 5. Travel Gets Easier Although a Canadian pardon doesn’t guarantee U.S. entry, it strengthens your U.S. Entry Waiver application and proves rehabilitation.
