The act of discharging is not used lightly. It is selective and particular. The grant of a discharge means that the offender does not get convicted for their crimes. They will still have a criminal record, but no jail time or any other consequence is needed to be served. In order to get this removed from their record, the offender can apply to the parole board for a pardon and go through two stages; an absolute discharge, which takes one year, and a conditional discharge, which takes three years. After the time is up for these two stages, with sanction of the Minister, the criminal record will be erased from all records.  If charged with a DUI, get Metro Vancouver DUI Lawyer to put forward your defence.  Keep in mind that with minimum sentences, you won’t get a discharge for a DUI because of the minimum sentences.
