I know sometimes people want to know "practical" timelines for pardons they may have at the Parole Board so I will share 3 pardons I got in today granted.
This is just involving the waiting time AFTER the pardon has been sent to the Parole Board in Ottawa.
2 were indictable offences, so in both cases i expected a year long wait, minimum. In both cases they were submitted in November and December, got the acknowledgment letter in December.
Both were granted in August, so that's well under a year for both. Different pardon officers as well.
The other was supposed to be a "quick pardon" because he had summary convictions. It went to the board on March 16 2020, and also came back today, no acknowledgment letter (which was expected). So 6 months. Without covid that would have been a 3 month wait maximum.
@Michelle, what are you finding for pardons being granted?
John, I agree timelines are no longer predictable. I received my first confirmation letter since COVID..and it is dated for Sept. 14, as receive date, even though it was delivered and signed for on March 23 by the Parole Board. But at least they are working, on new applications, and answering phones, although limited at best.
I got a few pardons in today, and the timeline is all over the map.
Perfect example:
Sent in March 18 2020
Acknowledgment letter August 10 2020
Pardon Granted September 1 2020
2 summary convictions, but why the acknowledgment letter? Makes no sense but just happy it is granted.
Then another took 9 months, again no explanation. And another 13 months.
They ARE answering the phone now, as of this week.
