Thank you for your posting, and the opportunity to serve you further.

Canadian policy is very strict with regards to almost any criminal conviction.

An expungement requires that your friend research, prepare, serve on the prosecutor, and file, a motion for petition to expunge his records.

This is something he can get from the court where he was convicted, or he can hire an attorney to handle this for him.

I hope this helps, but if you have any further questions, or need more information, feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. It's my pleasure to assist in any way that I can.

Assuming you are talking about California convictions, there are some 'violence' based charges that can not be expunged. Have him contact me to discuss the details, to determine if expungement is available, and the cost of doing this.
