1. Check to see if you are eligible

You're eligible to apply for a record suspension for possession of cannabis convictions if:

• you were only convicted of simple possession of cannabis for personal use (not possession with intent to traffic or any other offences), or
• you completed any jail or probation part of your sentence. You're still eligible if you haven't paid the related fines or victim surcharges, but the government might still try to collect those fines from you even if you get a record suspension

If you're not sure what you've been convicted of, you will have to get a criminal record check or your court documents to see if you are eligible. See step 2 for more information on how to get these documents.
