Criminal offences in Canada are dictated by the Canadian Criminal Code and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. All offences under these acts are pardonable with the exception of murder convictions which carry a life sentence. Pardons for certain sexual related offences carry a special restriction which I can discuss with anyone interested.
For convenience, I have listed some of the more commonly known criminal codes below. This is by no means a comprehensive list.
If you were convicted under Criminal Code Sec. 71, for dueling, I would love to hear that story.
