The official fee to apply for a pardon – now called a record suspension – has been reduced to just $50 by the Parole Board of Canada. But preparing a complete, accurate application is critical, and that’s where we can help.
At Pardon Services, we’ve supported Canadians for over 30 years in successfully navigating the pardon process. We offer free, no-obligation consultations before any service fees are discussed.
What Is the $50 Government Fee For?
The $50 is a non-refundable government filing fee paid directly to the Parole Board of Canada. It does not include the work needed to collect your records, prepare the application, or ensure it meets legal standards.
