What Is Parole in Ontario?


Parole is a form of early, supervised release from custody that allows eligible individuals to serve part of their sentence in the community under specific conditions. It’s not a reduction of your sentence — it’s a shift in where and how you serve it.

 

  Parole gives you the opportunity to:


  • Rebuild family and community ties
  • Return to work, education, or treatment
  • Begin reintegrating into society with oversight


However, parole is not guaranteed. You must actively apply and demonstrate that your release would not pose an undue risk to the public. Even if you’re eligible, you still need to present a strong, well-prepared case to the parole board.



Who Decides Parole?

Parole decisions in Ontario are made by two main authorities, depending on the type of sentence:


  • Ontario Parole Board: Handles parole for offenders serving less than two years in provincial institutions.
  • Parole Board of Canada (PBC): Oversees federal parole for those serving sentences of two years or more.


Each board considers factors such as:

  • Your criminal history and institutional behavior
  • Your release plan and available community supports
  • Whether you take responsibility for your actions
  • Risk assessments and recommendations from correctional staff


A board hearing is your opportunity to present your case. That’s why having a clear, strategic plan — and a representative who knows how to speak to the board — can make all the difference.

What Do You Need to Qualify?

To be considered for parole in Ontario, you must meet specific eligibility requirements based on your sentence type and timing:


Basic Eligibility:


  • Provincial sentence (under 2 years): You may be eligible for parole after serving one-third of your sentence.
  • Federal sentence (2 years or more): You may apply for day parole and full parole at different stages, depending on your offence and sentence length.


But eligibility alone isn’t enough. The board will also expect you to demonstrate:


  • A realistic and detailed release plan
  • Positive institutional behavior and participation in programs
  • Insight and accountability for your actions
  • A support network in the community (housing, employment, counselling, etc.)


We help you build and present all of these — clearly, convincingly, and strategically.


Not sure how parole works?



What You Risk Without a Strong Parole Hearing Strategy


If your parole is denied, delayed, or revoked, the consequences can be life-altering:


  • Remain in custody longer
  • Loss of early release opportunities
  • Strained family and community ties
  • Reduced ability to secure employment, housing, or treatment
  • Risk of re-offending or deteriorating mental health


Even a small mistake or poor presentation at your hearing can lead to unnecessary incarceration.

Frequently Asked Questions — Ontario & Federal Parole

  • 1. How long does a parole hearing usually last?

    Parole hearings typically last between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of your case and how many questions the board has. 


    More serious or lengthy cases can take longer.

  • 2. Will I be asked to speak at the hearing?

    Yes. You’ll be expected to speak about your offense, progress in custody, and release plan. 


    While it can feel intimidating, preparation makes a big difference — we help you understand what to expect and how to respond clearly and confidently.



  • 3. Can my family or community supporters speak at my hearing?

    Yes, in some cases. 


    Support persons may be allowed to submit written statements or speak if the board permits it. 


    A well-prepared support letter can strengthen your release plan significantly.

  • 4. What happens if I get denied parole?

    You’ll receive written reasons for the decision. 


    Depending on the board, you may reapply after a certain time (usually 6 to 12 months), or you can appeal if there were legal or procedural errors. 


    We can help assess your options after a denial.



  • 5. Do I have the right to see what’s in my parole file before the hearing?

    Yes. You have the right to request and review the Disclosure Package, which includes reports and assessments that the board will consider. 


    We help you understand and respond to what's in that file.

  • 6. Can I reschedule my parole hearing if I’m not ready?

    In limited cases, yes — but it’s not guaranteed and must be requested well in advance. 


    You’ll need valid reasons (like not receiving disclosure or not having representation). 


    We can help file a request or prepare you in time.

  • 7. Is video or virtual parole hearing possible?

    Yes. 


    Many parole hearings — especially at federal institutions — are held by video conference. 


    It’s still a formal process, and preparation is just as important.



  • 8. What should I wear to a parole hearing?

    Dress respectfully and neatly. 


    You don’t need a suit, but you should avoid clothing with logos, slang, or anything that might appear disrespectful.

  • 10. Can I request specific conditions if I’m granted parole?

    Yes. You can request that certain conditions be added or removed, such as where you’ll live or whether you can work. 


    The board will consider whether they help manage risk.
