What is the statute of limitations for manslaughter in Canada?
Unlike the U.S. Canada does not have a statute of Limitations on most criminal charges other than some very minor offenses. Time limitations do not apply where an accused has fled, been out of the jurisdiction, is hiding in the jurisdiction, or has prevented the victim from complaining to the police. So the clock does not tick for people who have forfeited the right to time limitations. That being said, minor offenses often reach a point in time when allegations are so old that it is fundamentally wrong to allow charges to be laid, even if the allegations may be true. Most Canadian law firms offer a free half hour consultation, and therefore I would suggest the questioner take advantage of this before returning across the border.
