A Pardon helps with employment

If you currently have a criminal record and you reside in Kitchener, Ontario, you may be having a difficult time finding work.

Most people are unaware that there is a legal process that can remove the burden of your criminal record and help you confidently apply for a job you desire. This is known as a Canadian Pardon, or a Criminal Record Suspension.

You may be aware that employers in Kitchener, Ontario are increasingly performing criminal background checks before hiring employees. Therefore if you possess a criminal record, you may find yourself losing out on rewarding employment opportunites time and again. This may be happening despite the fact that you possess all the right experience and skills the employer is looking for. In many cases, you may even realize that a far less experienced candidate received the job due to a clear criminal record.

Furthermore, even if you’ve never been found guilty of a crime, you still may have trouble getting hired because your employer may see criminal charges on your record. Many employers do not like to see any involvement in criminal activity when it comes to their future employees. The fact that you were charged with a criminal act, shows them that you were invilved in criminal activity and can easily prevent them from hiring you.

This is why more and more residents in Ontario are taking the necessary measures to gauge the severity of their criminal record and see if they qualify to have it cleared.
