**NOTE: Normally, this service is to destroy a CPIC record and/or Police Records showing a Conditional Discharge or Stayed, Dismissed, or Withdrawn charges as long as no other convictions appear on CPIC or Local Police Records. Police File Destruction may also be required before or after being granted a Standard Canadian Pardon, in order to destroy local police records, which could possibly be hacked into by foreign federal government agencies in the future.

Note: File Destruction for convictions are usually only granted after 10 years or more have passed without any further charges, investigations or convictions, and if you have multiple convictions or an Indictable conviction, the police like to see at least 15 years of crime-free activity. Another reason to obtain this service is to destroy a CPIC record after the death of a convicted person.

Note: If we need to also do a Privacy Act Information Request, there will be another $252.00 charge.

$126.00 per 1/2 hour

This fee is charged for additional administration fees, which are not included in our regular Pardon and/or Waiver application processing, or for work done outside our regular business hours. Your application processor will explain such fees, when applicable, billed at $126.00 per 1/2 hour. (1-hour minimum will apply for non-Pardon or US Waiver clients)

Common reasons for this fee are:

1. Advanced US Waiver Personal Statement and/or Canada Pardon Letter Writing.
2. When a “serious offender” requires our services to create, review, edit, rewrite, or polish Reference Letters, Rehabilitation Letters, Personal Statements, Sworn Statements, etc.
3. When an applicant receives a Proposal to Deny letter from the Parole Board, and they need help assembling and editing documents such as writing a Personal Letter to the Parole Board explaining the circumstances of the incident(s) and creating Draft Reference Letters.
4. When a Pardon applicant fails to pay the PBC Filing Fee or some other fee, and their Pardon forms expire and have to be redone. Such applicants may also need to pay for another Local Police Records Check that has expired.
5. To rush applications to accommodate a client’s busy schedule.
6. To file a US Waiver application electronically, upload all the required documents, and arrange flight and other details for FBI fingerprinting at a land-based border. Fees normally range from $80.00 plus GST to $285.00 plus GST.

Court Record Search fees from other provinces range from $35 for some eastern provinces to $165.90 for Quebec. Fees apply to all Pardon applicants for each and every offense whether or not fines were imposed, and for Waiver clients, especially those who have multiple offenses and/or 2 or more Indictable offenses. (This will be verified after we receive your Certified Record from the Ottawa RCMP).

Note: A $35.00 Administration Fee plus Police Agency Fee (if applicable) is required for each city to complete a Local Police Records Search. If an applicant fails to provide a Local Police Record Search for every city they have lived in, the Parole Board may deny a Pardon if the applicant was suspected of any criminal offense(s) in other cities. If you have worked in other cities but maintained an address elsewhere, you will be required to do a Local Police Records Search only if you were involved with the police in other cities and where the police recorded your address as being in that city.
