The word ‘pardon’ comes from the old French pardun, meaning “the action of forgiving or being forgiven for an error or offence”. This is exactly what a Canadian pardon does; it is an official recognition by the government that you have completed the terms of your sentencing and are ready to move on with your life. Once a pardon is granted by the National Parole Board, it will guarantee the removal of your criminal record from all federal databases, and will seal them away forever.
