FAQs: Facing Charges in Ontario?
Get honest answers to your most pressing questions:
1. Will I get a criminal record?
Not necessarily. Being charged does not mean you'll be convicted.
With the right legal strategy, many first-time offenders may qualify for alternatives like diversion programs, peace bonds, or withdrawals — which can help you avoid a criminal record entirely.
2. What’s the difference between a charge and a conviction?
A charge means the police believe there’s evidence to prosecute you. A conviction means you’ve been found guilty in court.
Until you're convicted, you're presumed innocent — and your legal team can help fight the charge or resolve it without a record.

4. Can I travel while charged?
It depends. Some charges come with conditions that restrict travel. If you’re released on bail or an undertaking, check your conditions carefully.
It’s possible to request changes, and your paralegal can help you apply to vary conditions if needed.
5. What is a peace bond?
A peace bond is a court order that requires you to keep the peace and follow certain conditions (like no contact). It does not result in a conviction or criminal record.
It’s often used as an alternative resolution, especially for first-time, non-violent offences.
6. How long will this stay on my record?
If you're not convicted, you can request non-conviction record destruction after a waiting period.
If you're convicted, your record is permanent unless you apply for a Record Suspension (Pardon) — usually available after 5–10 years, depending on the charge.
7. Can the victim drop the charges?
No. In Ontario, once police lay a criminal charge, only the Crown prosecutor can decide to proceed or withdraw it — not the complainant.
However, the victim’s wishes may still be considered in how the Crown handles the case.
8. Do I need a lawyer or can a paralegal represent me?
Paralegals licensed by the Law Society of Ontario can represent you in most summary conviction matters, including assault, mischief, threats, theft under $5,000, and harassment.
They offer affordable, effective defence — often with flat-rate pricing.
9. Can I go to jail for a first offence?
Jail is rare for minor first-time offences.
Courts often consider alternatives like diversion, conditional discharges, or fines — especially for non-violent, low-risk situations.
A skilled legal representative can argue for the least serious outcome.
10. What does it cost to fight a charge?
