暫時移除犯罪記錄：提升認知及幫助女性重新開始
Raising awareness and helping women to get their lives back
In 2014, Asian Women for Equality helped Canada change the law to decriminalize women prostituted in the sex trade. However, the government ignored the advice of feminists to remove the criminal records for women who were charged and convicted before the law came into effect. This left women to suffer the impact of having a criminal record for being prostituted and other poverty crimes.
Asian Women for Equality may be able to help you complete the package required to get a record suspension. This can help with getting employment, housing, educational opportunities, and custody or access of your children.
What is a criminal record suspension?
A Record Suspension allows persons who were convicted of a criminal offence under the Criminal Code of Canada, to have their criminal record kept separate and apart from other criminal records. It also removes a person’s criminal record from the RCMP Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC).
Who can apply?
You can apply for a Record Suspension if you were convicted as an adult.
To apply, you must have completed all sentences including:
-
all fines, surcharges, costs, restitution and compensation orders;
-
all sentences of imprisonment, conditional sentence order; including parole and statutory release;
-
any probation order(s)
-
Followed by a waiting period:
-
for summary offences - 5 years
-
for indictable offences - 10 year
-
Learn more, contact us to arrange a workshop.

-

您或您身邊的女性有曾因非法入侵、店鋪盜竊、賣淫、騙取福利或其他自我防衛行為而被逮捕、留下記錄或被指控恐嚇或襲擊罪嗎？
在2014年，亞洲女性的平等權益協助加拿大更改法律，女性在性交易中賣淫不再被視為犯罪。然而，政府忽視了女權主義者的建議，未移除在新法律實行前被控告或被定罪的女性犯罪記錄。這讓女性不得不面對因被捲進賣淫及因貧窮犯下罪行而留下的犯罪記錄，並承受其帶來的負面影響。
亞洲女性的平等權益或許能幫您完成暫時移除記錄的申請。這將在獲得工作、房屋、教育機會以及您孩子的監護權或探視權上給予幫助。
甚麼是暫時移除犯罪記錄？
暫時移除記錄能讓依《加拿大刑法》被判為犯下刑事罪行的人把他們的犯罪記錄與其他犯罪記錄分開處理，且會從加拿大皇家騎警信息中心（CPIC）移除該人的犯罪記錄。
誰能申請？
如果您在成年時被判罪，您可申請暫時移除記錄。申請的前提是，您必須是已完成所有判决，包括：
-
所有罰款、追加款項、訴訟費、賠償及補償金；
-
所有監禁刑罰、有條件判决令，包括假釋和法定釋放；
-
任何緩刑令
-
且已度過等待期：
-
即决罪行——需等五年
-
可公訴罪行——需等十年
-
