Are criminal pardons in Canada the same as in the US?
BenjaminNetenyahu
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. More information on this topic can be found in the 'related links'.
