Record suspension in Ontario

Ontario accounts for the largest share of Parole Board of Canada record suspension applications in Canada. Whether you were convicted in Toronto, Oshawa, Ottawa, or a northern community, the federal process is the same - but local police record checks, court document retrieval, and fingerprinting logistics vary by municipality and regional police service.

Nationwide Pardon and Waiver Services supports Ontario applicants remotely from every region listed below. You do not need to visit an office. We sequence RCMP fingerprints, Proof of Conviction requests, and local police checks for every city you lived in during the past five years.

Provincial police checks & court documents

Ontario applicants typically obtain local police record checks from municipal services (Toronto Police Service, Durham Regional Police, Ottawa Police Service, etc.) or the OPP where no municipal force exists. Vulnerable sector check rules follow provincial standards under the Police Record Checks Reform Act, 2015.
