Under the Criminal Code of Canada, you can be charged with Assault or Domestic Assault even if there’s no physical injury — and even if it was a one-time incident in the heat of the moment.
You can be charged for:
- Applying force intentionally — such as hitting, pushing, grabbing, or slapping
- Attempting or threatening to apply force
- Gestures or movements that make someone fear immediate harm
- Assaulting a spouse, partner, ex, family member, or someone in your household
- Assault doesn’t have to involve a weapon or leave visible marks. In many domestic situations, police are required to lay charges once called, even if the other person doesn’t want to press charges.
These actions can happen during arguments, through sudden reactions, or in emotionally charged situations — but how the other person perceived the incident often matters more than what you intended.
Intent doesn’t always matter — perception does.

Frequently Asked Questions About Assault Charges in Ontario
1. Can I be charged with assault if the other person wasn’t injured?
Yes. In Canada, an assault charge can be laid even if there was no physical injury.
All that’s required is intentional force — or the threat of it — without consent.
A shove, slap, or even aggressive gestures can be enough to result in a charge.
2. What if it was mutual — can we both be charged?
Yes. If both parties engaged in physical contact or threats, both individuals can be charged.
However, police may use discretion based on statements and evidence to determine the “primary aggressor.”
3. Can I still see my children if I’m charged with domestic assault?
Not always. If a no-contact or no-association order is issued — especially involving your partner — it may also limit your ability to see your children.
Bail conditions may restrict communication or access until the matter is resolved or varied.
4. What if the complainant is lying or exaggerated the situation?
False or exaggerated allegations do occur. If there's inconsistent testimony, lack of evidence, or motive to fabricate, we can challenge credibility and seek to have the charge withdrawn, stayed, or dismissed in court.
5. Is it better to plead guilty and get it over with?
Not necessarily. Pleading guilty creates a criminal record and may result in jail time, probation, or travel restrictions.
Even if you’re hoping to move on, it’s critical to speak to a paralegal first — you may qualify for diversion or have strong defences.
6. Will this affect my permanent residency or immigration status?
Yes. Assault convictions — especially domestic-related — can jeopardize your PR status or future immigration applications.
Even charges without convictions can complicate immigration matters. Seek legal advice immediately.
7. Can I contact the complainant if they reach out to me?
No. If you’re under a no-contact or non-communication order (common in domestic assault cases), you cannot respond — even if the complainant initiates.
Breaching this condition can result in additional criminal charges.
8. How long will my case take to resolve?
It depends. Simple cases may resolve within 3–6 months through diversion or peace bonds.
Cases proceeding to trial may take 9–18 months.
Hiring a paralegal early can help resolve the matter faster.
9. Can I vary my bail or no-contact conditions?
Yes. You can request a variation through the court, but the complainant usually must consent.
Your paralegal can help prepare and submit a bail variation application for court review.
10. What if this is not my first assault charge?
Repeat charges are taken more seriously and may limit your options (e.g., peace bonds or diversion may not be offered).
However, you may still have viable defences — or be able to negotiate for a reduced penalty or conditional discharge.
