Re: Pardon Granted
Dear Madam/Sir,

Thank for giving me an opportunity to share my feelings and experiences living without criminal background. But before I do that, I would like to thank you for trusting and believing in me, and for giving me a chance to start my life over.
I have never had any criminal convictions in my entire life and when I gave gotten this burden on my back, I have realized the difference of being labeled and stigmatized and being law-abiding citizen.
It does not feel heavy anymore. I am making plans how to better myself and my relationships with my family others. I also thought of how to adjust my behaviour and my thought processing in the future, that my reaction to surroundings is calm and friendly. Anger management classes help me tremendously. I have realized the beauty of freedom, not just from confinement, but also from labels being a criminal and so on. The air feels lighter and fresher now, when the pardon is granted. It is if I have dropped a very heavy luggage that I was carrying with me for a while.
Thank you for another chance to feel like myself again.
My best regards,

I just received your documents confirming that my Pardon request has been granted and complete. It truly is with great relief, yet embarrassment that this part of my life occurred and the weight of shame it carries. It is not the person I am or choose to be.
Thank you very much for making this Pardon possible, and allowing me to move forward in my life, although I have been positively for many years. Thank you for the correspondence via email when I had questions to follow up throughout this process. Most of all thank you for the letter I received dated August 8th, 2018 confirming destruction of my file.

Thank you to Pardons Canada for removing my criminal record and giving me an opportunity to start fresh. I feel as if a big load was lifted off my shoulders. I’ve learned from my mistakes and I’m just so grateful for a second chance.
I hope you can help others just like me and get them off their feet with a fresh new start just like me. Having a criminal record is nothing to be proud of and I learned from this. Thank you again!
