GBWS

Delete Your Police File

Don’t let your past police record follow or haunt you forever. Take a fresh start by removing non-conviction records from the local police record and national databases with the assistance of GBWS experts for a bright future!

If you are an individual who has ever been arrested but never declared guilty, or charges against you were dismissed or withdrawn, your police record may exist in national databases. This may be silently blocking a lot of opportunities you deserve.


GBWS Immigration & Legal Services also includes police record expungement support that helps individuals across Canada and abroad in removing police files that are no longer relevant. Our criminal record removal consultants handle your request to delete non-conviction records from local and national systems, such as the RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), with care and professionalism.

A police record can cause rejections during the immigration process, background checks and border crossings, even if you were never convicted.  You can request to remove a Canadian criminal record in cases:

  • Criminal charges against you were withdrawn or dismissed
  • You were arrested but not convicted
  • You were not found guilty at trial
  • You completed a diversion program or peace bond successfully
  • Your case was resolved years ago, but still appearing in the police database

Police file deletion helps to avoid issues like:

  • Immigration or visa application rejection
  • Difficulties in employment and volunteer screening
  • Delays at the Canada Border Services Agency
  • Denied entry to the U.S. and other countries
  • Loss of reputation and personal stress

Criminal record removal allows you to take a fresh start, ensuring only relevant and lawful information remains in the official records.

Whenever an individual is involved in a police matter, multiple records are maintained, including:

  • City or provincial level reports
  • Court records
  • Canadian Police Information Centre or CPIC entries
  • Border and immigration records (via Canada Border Services Agency)

Even though charges may be dismissed or dropped, records remain and are not automatically erased. This is why individuals must submit a purge request or a formal file destruction request to the relevant authority for the purpose. GBWS handles such a situation with accuracy and expertise.

GBWS is a comprehensive and confidential service to clear your police profile. Our professional consultants are familiar with the process of removal of non-conviction data from courts, police services and federal agencies. They ensure each request is complete through strong legal reasoning.

  • Eligibility Review: We check your background to determine whether your record qualifies for deletion under the law.
  • Document Retrieval: Our consultants access your certified criminal record from the RCMP or any police report or court orders.
  • File Destruction Request: We submit appropriate police record removal requests to the local police department and the Canada Border Services Agency.
  • Follow-Up and Confirmation: Our record suspension services continue to track your file until you receive written confirmation of police record removal from the system.

Post-Deletion Verification: Once completed, we also verify through background checks that your file is no longer included in immigration screenings or police databases.

Although record suspension and police record deletion sound similar, they are different terms. The Parole Board of Canada manages the record suspension that applies only to convictions. Meanwhile, file deletion is concerned with non-conviction records, including dismissed, withdrawn or stayed charges; RCMP and local police services handle record removal requests. 

GBWS helps you determine which process is suitable for your situation and ensures you take the right legal steps.
