While there are many requirements to be satisfied in order to be removed from the registry’s database it is possible to have your name removed!! Noting that the name of an applicant may still be found on federal and provincial records even after deregistration has been granted is important 😆 🔛 !!
Who Is Eligible for Removal?
In order to be eligible for deregistration applicants must meet several eligibility criteria! The first and most important criteria is that the person must have been convicted of their crime more than 10 years ago. If the person is still serving any form of sentence related to their crime they are not eligible for deregistration . Additionally persons must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents and must not have been convicted of any other crime during the 10-year period since their original conviction. Finally, the person must be deemed to not currently pose a risk to public safety ️.
Applying for Removal
Once you have determined that you are eligible for removal the process for applying for deregistration can begin . The process will differ depending on whether the application is for provincial or federal deregistration 🔛.
For provincial deregistration, it is necessary to fill out an application form and submit it to your local police department. Be sure to include all necessary supporting documents such as criminal records, parole board decisions, and court documents. The application must also be accompanied by a letter from a mental health professional who can attest to your risk assessment ️. Finally you may need to have an in-person interview with a police officer 👮 ️.
You must complete an application form and submit it to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for federal deregistration, along with the same supporting documentation as stated above and a letter from a mental health professional. After submitting the application, you may be required to attend an in-person interview with an RCMP officer.
The Process
Once the application is submitted the process of reviewing your eligibility for deregistration begins . Your application will be reviewed by a panel of experts, including a police officer, mental health professional, and a representative from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection 🧒 🍁 👮 ️. The panel will consider the information submitted in your application and decide whether or not to grant you deregistration .
If your application is approved, your name will be removed from the CSOR and you will no longer face restrictions related to being a registered sex offender. If denied, you may appeal the decision in court.
It is important to note that even after being removed from the CSOR your name may still appear on provincial or federal records. Additionally if you are convicted of another crime in the future your name may be re-added to the registry.
Conclusion
Getting off the Canadian Sex Offender Registry can be a long and difficult process 🍁 ️. However it is possible for individuals to have their name removed from the registry if they meet the eligibility criteria and follow the proper application process . Once removed individuals no longer face restrictions related to being a registered sex offender ®️ ️. However, it is important to note that their name may still appear on provincial or federal records. . .
