What Is A Criminal Record?
A criminal record is a record of criminal activity, regardless of the outcome in court. Even after several years, even if it concerns a minor offence, a criminal record does not disappear automatically. Having a prior criminal record can create issues with many important things in life, including travelling. You need to overcome this prior to entering Canada. If you have committed the offence in Canada, then you may need to apply for a Pardon.

Record Suspension Application
A Record Suspension may be a viable option if you are a permanent resident seeking to become a citizen and have committed an offence in Canada. This record suspension will not wipe the slate clean, as a record of your conviction will still be kept, but information about this conviction will be kept separate from other criminal databases.
Therefore, these offences will not appear in a background check. The goal of a record suspension is to allow rehabilitated people the opportunity to resume normal life and adapt back into society without facing the difficulties of having a criminal record.
Note, if you do re-offend after you have received your record suspension, your previous offences may return to appearing in normal criminal searches.
