Company details

  1. Legal Services

Written by the company

Individuals who wish to seal their record can do so by applying to the Parole Board of Canada for a record suspension (pardon) and/or a record destruction (expungement). Those who would like to travel to the United States without a pardon can obtain a US Entry Waiver. When a pardon or expungement is granted, no record of your charge or conviction remains public, and a US Entry Waiver ensures that you will be unhindered in your travel to the United States as you have been prescreened by U.S. Homeland Security for Entry. Services Offered - Pardons - Expungements - US Entry Waivers.

YEARS wait

The call back time is slow. 2 years.
Still waiting for the processing to be finished but it is slow. Better to try get your own pardon. Within the waiting time, I pardons have decresaed in price, and I still paid 1200+ with no refund. Took two years to have a response. Now waiting again.

Hello Wabi,

The standard wait time for a Pardon(Record Suspension) is between 1-2 years from the date of opening the application based upon government timelines for releasing the necessary documentation in order to complete the application.

However, you are not our client . We encourage you to reach out to the organization responsible for your application and avoid posting negative reviews on companies that you are not dealing with.

Warm Regards,

A horrible horrible comlany and experience…

This is a perfect example of the crap you get from Canadian pardon application services. They can’t even figure out your a client because they did almost nothing for you. As to any favourable reviews they most likely came from staff or people they know. They are fake and in no way tell the true story about this bogus company. They take your money without authorization monthly and do absolutely NOTHING til they get it all!!!!! They never respond properly to questions and only email back answering what they want. Shame on them. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANY REASON AND DO T BELIEVE ANY COMMENTS THAT ARE POSITIVE IN NATURE as they are from staff or friends trying to manipulate the true story about how poor their business i. A real scam.

I Spoke with a consultant by the name of Joseph Wood back in July 2022. Very nice guy, I ended up signing up for a Pardon and Expungement to clear up some old stuff. I ended up paying for rush service and they delivered on that. I would recommend this company and you speak with Joseph Wood if you need this type of service.

Overall great experience

Hey guys, I used Canadian Pardons over a the course of about 1 year. My Pardon and Waiver took about 1 13 months so which was fine by me. Definitely a great group to work with and would highly recommend them.

This place is a complete phony pack of liars. Any good reviews that you read about them are written by people that work for them within their own so called business. They are liars and cheaters and only are interested in taking your money. Run like h***

Hello Susan,
You are not a client of ours. Please contact the firm that you are dealing with and avoid leaving one star reviews on companies pages that you have not dealt with as they are very damaging to our reputation.

Do not give your credit card info to them. You will be billed without consent, and they do NOT man their phones. I was told a price and now its way past that, I just got billed another $350 without consent. I tried calling, left my number and NO call back. Very Shaddy company, be careful.

No results after payment and one year of waiting

We have been waiting over a year, and have paid the full fees and done everything asked. Three times they have called and said we have not signed their forms - even with two emails confirming they have received them and everything looks good. This whole time we thought something was being done and they just took our money and did nothing.

Hello Jenn, Unfortunately we do need the forms that are originally sent to you to be signed and sent back so that we have authorization to request your court records.

Most of our clients have these forms back the moment they receive them.

Please do so as soon as possible so we may complete your file.

Scammers

Scammers; I explained my case to these guys and they told me that I needed a pardon even when I didn’t, and not only that it took them 6 month to fill out the application in the beginning they told me they were doing everything and after the 6 months they sent me the application for me to mail or go to the us border.
They know the immigration laws and they still told me that I needed a pardon. Scammers

Hello Omar,

Unfortunately, we advised you to proceed with your US Entry Waiver application based upon the information that you had given to us.

Based upon the information we received we recommended the US Entry Waiver as it seemed like that was the correct application for you to undertake as you had overstayed your welcome in the United States for 7 years with an expired visa.

These guys are straight crroks…

These guys are straight crroks themselves, during the initial set up of the account I made it clear I would pay them as I saw work being completed. I gave a $500 deposit, I had to follow up several times to receive a package of photo copies that was finally mailed to after several months. They repeatedly attempted to charge my credit card, during the process of renewing our mortguage causes issues even after I had request both via email and over for them not too do that. Frustrated I emailed again and said Please "F@#$%ING" stop chariing my cards with out authorization. they have not done any worl on my account. They wrote me back saying the are terminating my account and wil not be refunding any money. They stole hundreds of dollars from me. I believe that the reviews here are fake and will be taking them to small claims court. DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY!!! They always seemed disorganized and unprofessional.

Hello Vincent,

Unfortunately, we were proceeding with the original payment structure that you had instructed us to proceed with when originally starting the process.

We apologize that we were not able to help you however we cannot hold a file indefinitely if payments are not made.

Best of luck
