The Parole Board of Canada (PBC or the Board) is an independent administrative tribunal. The PBC makes conditional release decisions for offenders sentenced to federal penitentiaries and for offenders serving sentences of less than two years in provinces and territories that do not have their own parole boards. The Appeal Division of the PBC hears appeals of PBC conditional release decisions.The Board is also responsible for making record suspension decisions, decisions on the expungement of a conviction and recommendations for the exercise of clemency through the Royal Prerogative of Mercy.PBC Board members make decisions that have significant implications for people’s lives, public safety and the integrity of Canada's parole system. Depending on the type of case, decisions are made by way of a hearing or in-office file review by either one or two Board members. Parole hearings are held in correctional institutions. The decision and reasons are generally given to the offender verbally at the end of the hearing. A written decision then follows.Work location:
