Canada doesn't have a president, but it has a Queen whose functions are normally exercised by a Governor General. Whereas the US President can grant a pardon for any federal offense, arbitrarily, the Governor General exercises clemency on the advice of a government minister and only in exceptional circumstances. Most criminal pardons in Canada are granted by the Parole Board of Canada. They serve only to make a criminal record inaccessible after a person has finished their sentence.
