Welcome to the Parole Board of Canada
The Parole Board of Canada (PBC), as part of the criminal justice system, makes independent, quality conditional release and record suspension decisions and clemency recommendations. The Board contributes to the protection of society by facilitating as appropriate, the timely reintegration of offenders as law-abiding citizens.
Notice: Possible postal service disruption
The PBC is committed to maintaining its services should there be a disruption in postal services this summer. Visit the victims section and record suspension section of our website for more information.

Public safety is the primary consideration in all conditional release decisions.
Members of the public may attend Parole Board hearings as observers. This contributes to greater public understanding of conditional release decision-making, and promotes openness and accountability in the Board’s operations.
