A Pardon helps with employment

If you have been charged with and/or convicted of a criminal offence and you live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, then finding a rewarding job and supporting yourself may be problematic. 

Fortunately, many poeople in your situation are able to take advantage of a legal process that can prevent your criminal record from showing up on job searches, thus helping you find the job you desire. This legal process is known as a Criminal Record Suspension or a Canadian Pardon.

In recent years, hiring managers in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan have been performing criminal background checks on potential employees, much more frequently. This means that if you currently have a criminal record, you most likely will not get hired for the job you want, even if you carry all the required experience and skills an ideal candidate should have. In the most frustrating of situations, you may even end up losing the position to a much less qualified candidate, simply because of your criminal past.

What’s worse is that even if you’ve only been charged with a criminal offence but never actually found guilty of one, this can still result in losing a great employment opportunity. This is because many employers don’t want to see any criminal involvement whatsoever with their candidates, so as to avoid all risks and problems in the workplace. The mere fact that you were charged with a criminal act, is often enough to prevent an employer from hiring you.

This is why residents of Saskatchewan are increasingly seeking help to qualify for a Canadian Pardon to have their criminal record cleared.
