Pardons are granted by the National Parole Board of Canada. When you become eligible for a pardon depends on the type of offence you were charged with (summary or indictable) and the severity of the sentence imposed on you.

Currently, we understand that the pardon process can take from 18 months to 36 months from the period of eligibility due to backlog. As a result, it may be wise to begin the process as soon as you are eligible to do so.
