Hello Everybody. I am not sure if this is the correct area to start this thread or not, but here goes.
People with bipolar are as law abiding as anyone else once their illness is brought under control. Unfortunately until that happens many end up with a criminal record. This can limit job possibilities, volunteer work and even prevent you from going to the USA on vacation
In Cda once 3-5 yrs(depends on yr crime) have passed after your conviction and all terms have been completed(fines and restitution paid , jail and parole completed), you are eligible to apply for a pardon. As long as you have not been convicted of a extremely violent crime like rape, murder etc. you have a very good chance of being pardoned. In Cda this means that your records are sealed and unless you are charged again never re-opened.
You can do it yourself for a little over $100. The forms are available from the national parole board at www.npb-cnlc.gc.ca/ . Or you can google pardons and there are some companies there that will do it for about $600 and for a bit more, complete it quickly in about 6 mths. They have some excellent faqs sections. Take Care. paul m
