A criminal record is paperwork.
Not a life sentence.

Record suspensions and US entry waivers, prepared from your answers. A flat fee — the government's fee shown separately, not the $600–$1,600+ firms charge.

How it works

Three steps. The first one is free and anonymous.

Step 01

Check for free

Answer a few questions anonymously. We restate the published rules and tell you where you stand — no account, no payment, answers stay on your device.

Step 02

Pay only if it's worth it

If a free government route fits you better, we say so and send you there. If we can help, you pay our flat fee — the government's fee stays separate.

Step 03

We prepare, you file

We prepare your complete application from your answers. You review every page, file it yourself, and pay any government fee directly to the government.

One flat fee,
no surprises

The government's filing fee is shown separately, before you pay anything — and it never passes through us.

You can also do all of this yourself, for free — the government publishes every form. Our eligibility check tells you when a free route fits, and points you to it.

Am I eligible?

A few anonymous questions. We restate the published rules, compute your earliest date, and tell you plainly — including when the answer is “not yet” or “you don't need us.” No account, no email, answers stay on your device.

Read the rules for yourself

Plain-language guides with the statutes cited — the same rules our eligibility check runs on.

Find out where you stand

Free, anonymous, and honest — including when the honest answer is that you don't need to pay anyone at all.

Frequently asked questions

We are self-help document-preparation software. We prepare your record suspension or U.S. entry waiver application from your answers; you review it and file it yourself. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice.

Because most of what firms charge for is preparation labour, not access. The government's filing fee is the same no matter who helps you. We charge a flat fee for the preparation and show the government's fee separately — you pay it directly to the government.

Never. Government fees are paid by you directly to the government and never pass through us. We show our fee and the government's fee together, before you commit to anything.

Yes. It is free, needs no account, and your answers stay on your device until you decide to buy. We don't see them, store them, or email you about them.

A Canadian record suspension typically takes 12–24 months end to end, most of it government processing. U.S. waiver timelines are set by the U.S. government and can run several months to over a year. We state these up front on every page.

No. The Parole Board of Canada and U.S. Customs and Border Protection decide every application on its own. Nobody can promise an outcome. What we do is prepare a complete, well-organised application.
