These are just a few of the challenges you will encounter when seeking opportunities with a criminal record:

- Many employers conduct criminal background checks, and refuse to hire individuals who are found to have a criminal record.

- In employment, you will not be bondable unless you pass a criminal background check, which is impossible with a criminal record.

- Post-secondary educators are required to conduct a criminal background check for many of their programs (such as law, nursing, child care, teaching, etc.) because of the sensitive nature of these careers.

- Individuals seeking to adopt will be refused the opportunity once they are found to have a criminal record, unless they get a pardon which will erase their criminal history.

- Volunteering of almost any kind (especially dealing with children and other vulnerable people) becomes impossible with a criminal record.

- Court judges in child custody cases will conduct a criminal background check, and the results of having a criminal record could have a devastating effect on your right to have custody rights to your children.

- The personal and public stigma of having a criminal record, and knowing that others will view and treat you differently once you inform them of your criminal history.

Almost every aspect of your life is affected if you have a criminal record. This can be changed however, by getting a Canadian pardon. Once a pardon has been granted, your criminal record will be erased, meaning you now have many more opportunities in your life than before.
