How BAD is Pardons Canada?

J Rogersposted 3 weeks ago

This is the company on Yonge ST in Toronto that claims to be a "NON " profit.

A young man calls, says he is doing a Waiver through Pardons Canada. Paid a deposit.

We book his fingerprints and he comes up to out office. Like I do with ALL Pardons Canada clients, I ask him if he knows about ALL the fees?

Of course he doesn't. He had NO idea there even WAS a US fee, not to mention it went up to $1100.00

I then ask him why he needs a waiver, and he SHOWS me the same criminal record he showed them.

From 2015-2023 he has 8 convictions. Including drugs.

So not only did Pardons Canada HIDE all the fees, he has NO shot at getting a waiver. NO CHANCE.

They were going to charge him $1500 CDN, which he thought was everything, and THEN ask him for $1100USD. And on top of this, because they don't DO fingerprints (not accredited) we would have charged him $90 for WASTED fingerprints.

He SHOWED them a copy of his record. It is CLEAR as day.

Please if you get taken advantage of by these people, at the VERY least leave an accurate review to warn others on Google.

Feel free to leave any horror stories below. I would say Dominion Pardons is still the absolute WORST company. Pardons Canada is lazy, deceptive, and completely dishonest.

@lorenzo I think you are mis reading what he said. He means he showed him his record with 8 convictions and its clear as day that he has a recent record. It's a figure of speech.

How did he show a "clear record" when he has 8 convictions up to & including 2023?

Tahnkfully, I never trusted any of those "puppy mill" looking companies which clearly grind out paperwork without the legal training / experience to assess individual situations.

Pardons Canada must be advertising like crazy. Another phone call, a guy who had never done a waiver before, needs fingerprints. He had NO IDEA there was ANY other fees. Also thought it was permanent. Shocked when I told him about $1100USD and also that 5 years based on his record was his limit.
