| Well don't post your life history on the internet if you 'aint ready for the advice given. You've had 25 years to sort this out. First, I didn't post my life history, if I did you'd know better than to try and make me look ungrateful when you offered useless advice and I called you on it. From the ... |

EyeBrock EyeBrock: Ah well. Keep plugging away and get a pardon.
I don't mean to be sarky, but... really? Ya think?
BTW, I did say I'm in the 4-10 month waiting period. |

| If the offence was committed as a young offender/person, a records check would not show that offence unless further criminal offences resulted in a criminal conviction once the offender became an adult. Basically if you committed an offence as a young person 30 years ago, the record will have been ... |

| I didn't actually go through a company for my pardon. I want directly through the Pardons Division. My first attempt to send my information in, the documents were returned unprocessed because one of the forms was reported missing. The same form they stamped as received just before sending them back.... |

andyt andyt: Since you've had all sorts of jobs in the past 30 years, it doesn't sound like the criminal record is really the prime obstacle.
It wasn't an issue until recently. |

Lemmy Lemmy: ShepherdsDog ShepherdsDog: would it be that easy even if he was tried as an adult for a serious offence? Good question. I don't know. If his conviction happened before the Young Offenders Act (1984), then the process is likely different as well.
It was in 1983. |

ShepherdsDog ShepherdsDog: $1: And it was a "crime" I committed so long ago, "sin" refers to religion, which I prefer to keep out of this conversation.
semantics.
lol it's not semantics, one is church the other is state. There's a definite separation. |

| ... As hard as it sounds hang in there. You doing the right things. Hopefully you can clean up your record that would be a big help. Thanks. I'm about 4 months into the 4 to 10 month waiting period. So, in effect this is going onto its 3rd year. Given the rotten adversity I usually face in anything... |

| well you have to look at it this way....It's a favour they are granting you rather than a service they are providing. They don't have to forgive you your sins. To me it's a service when I've been a good citizen for 30 years. A mistake at 17 years old should NOT be held over my head at 45. And it wa... |

ShepherdsDog ShepherdsDog: Ever apply to have your record expunged?
$1: Even though I'm in the last phase of getting it removed means nothing.
Yeah. A 2 year process that seems more of a punishment then a service the government provides. |

| Thanks for the words guys. However, I'm not one that puts any value in religion or mysticism. When I've nailed the interview a 30 year old charge, or the lack of a damned computer science degree, should not stop me from landing a simple tech support job... or a lousy shipping/receiving position. No ... |
