How Long Does it Take to Receive a Record Suspension?

Processing times for a record suspension application in Canada depend on the type of offence and the completeness of the application. Once accepted as eligible and complete by the Parole Board of Canada (PBC):

  • Summary Offences: Processed within 6 months.
  • Indictable Offences: Processed within 12 months.
  • Proposed Refusal: May take up to 24 months, allowing time for the applicant to respond to the PBC's notification of intent to refuse.

To avoid delays, ensure your application is complete and includes all required documentation. Visit the Parole Board of Canada for detailed guidance.
