Reasonable wait time from charge to first application

The CHIposted 2 months ago

What is a ‘reasonable’ amount of time to wait from your charge to filing your first application? My timeline is as follows;
Jan 2020- conditional discharge - 3 years probation
Jan 2023- probation is over
Oct 2023- File first waiver
Oct 2024- Denial
Reason- I pose a risk to society for future harm bla bla bla as I did not wait enough time in order to be rehabilitated.
Pardons Canada (who I find completely useless btw) says I should wait 5 years or more to apply again. Is this for real??
Someone please help me out here
Appreciate you and this forum

@The CHI Pardons Canada has been addressed here before. They are unethical.

A Conditional Discharge rarely has more that a year of probation, so I am surprised. Were you denied entry? Because the best solution would have been to wait to January 2023 and just delete the discharge, which takes about a month.

If you were denied entry and HAVE to apply for a waiver, then 3 years AFTER a conditional discharge is the minimum time to have a "chance". 5 years is ideal. The probation only comes into play when they reject the waiver.

Time is absolutely the main factor, followed by "the circumstances" and influenced by the sentence as well.

Being rejected doesn't mean you never had a chance, how the application was done CAN influence it. For example Pardons Canada makes the client write his own personal letter, and this is a BIG mistake.

Anyways if you want to contact me and show me the rejection letter I am happy to give you my opinion.
