No help at all really. A pardon generally only means that you are forgiven by the Governor for whatever offense you committed. The record of the crime will still exist on your record, as will the record of the pardon.
Yes, a pardon is NOT an exoneration of guilt, and since it is not an expungement, it will be in their criminal history record.
Yes, a pardon will typically still show up in a criminal background check. However, it will indicate that the individual was granted a pardon for their past conviction, which may have positive implications for their record.
You won't get pardoned if you're not serving time. A pardon does not make your record go away; it means the governor "forgives" you for your crime, and determines that there's no need for you to remain incarcerated. You will still have a record.
In Canada, you must fill an application for a pardon. You can hire somebody to do it for you - the cost will be about 550$. If you do it by yourself, there is a fee of 50 $ for the form plus the fees to obtain a copy of your criminal record.
A "criminal pardon" is when an official issuing the pardon is knowingly involved in a criminal act (midemeanor of felony) interfaced with the pardon. Example... A State Governor accepts a bribe for issuing a pardon.
A sentence using the word pardon could be: Pardon me, I didn't mean to do that. To pardon is to ask for forgiveness of doing something. Or to be let off the hook, so to speak.

In Canada, a shoplifting conviction remains on your criminal record indefinitely unless you take steps to have it removed. You may apply for a record suspension (formerly known as a pardon) after a certain period, typically five years for summary offenses like shoplifting. If granted, a record suspension can help clear your criminal record, making it easier to move on with your life. However, until you obtain a record suspension, the conviction will stay on your record and may impact employment and travel opportunities.
No, if you have a criminal pardon, you still need a US Entry waiver before they will let you over the border.
No, not necessarily. To remove the public record of your arrest and imprisonment, you would probably need to file a motion to have your record "EXPUNGED." States may vary, check with an attorney.
That depends upon where you are and what the crime is. Here in Australia your crime would remain on record. A Pardon is not a statement of no guilt. It is a statement of having been forgiven for doing the crime.
The technical difference is that anexpungement simply removes a criminal record. You were found guilty punished and now you want that record gone. Depending on the type of pardon the record of the incident is not "erased" you are simply forgiven of the wrong doing. Some States will treat a pardon the same as an expungement, some will not. You will need to determine how your State or local jurisdiction handles the two.
