Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is GBWS a government agency or a law firm?
GBWS is presented here as a private company in Mississauga that takes fingerprints and helps prepare applications. The RCMP, FBI, Parole Board and IRCC make decisions on their respective files. Confirm GBWS’s licensing and professional status before publishing this answer.
It depends on where the record is from and what you want to do. A record suspension applies to Canadian convictions. Criminal rehabilitation or a temporary resident permit may apply when a conviction makes you inadmissible to Canada. A US entry waiver may apply when a record affects entry at the US border. Consider getting advice specific to your circumstances.
The fingerprinting office is in Mississauga, and clients may come from surrounding cities. If you are outside the GTA or abroad, contact GBWS to confirm which parts of your application can be completed remotely.
It depends on the agency and type of application. The RCMP, FBI, Parole Board and IRCC set their own timelines, which can change. GBWS cannot guarantee approval or a result date.
