Looking at CR for retirement in a few years (after we do our due diligence trips etc)….question on residency. Will it matter if one has a fully ‘pardoned’ criminal record from Canada?
Question: Will that pardon show up on your criminal history report? You’ll have to provide that history along with your other documents. If it does not, you’re likely in the clear.
That said, you’re not likely to get a truly reliable answer from the online forums. I would recommend that you consult a knowledgeable Costa Rican attorney who specializes in residency matters during your next exploratory trip here.
that happened to someone i know — an offense that had been dismissed from his record but showed up anyway whe INTERPOL did their check and his residency was denied. it will depend on what the offense was.

I had actually read about that here in a post, this is one reason why I ask. I have had criminal record checks done for work with the government, and it has always come back clean – no record. The Federal Government has issued a full pardon of any misdeeds I may have been a part of in the past as I have shown good character in society for the past many years 🙂
So when I get my record check done here I am confident it will come back clean (it always does). How can I check if anything will come back in Interpol without having to hire a lawyer?
I am a current employee, with the Department of Justice. If you also went through the routine 5 year FBI background checks, for federal employment; you should be OK. If possible, you could also check with someone to have them provide you with an NCIC background check; just to varify.

I have only had local checks done for provincial employment. I will look into a federal check, just to make sure. It sure would be a bummer if we had all of our planning done only to be rejected because of a silly mistake in my younger years 😯
dbartley, I understand fully. 20 years ago, I was having a dinner party, forgot something, and rushed to the supermarket to buy. On my way there, I was pulled over by an officer. He asked for my license and registration, which I could not produce; because I had left my bloody wallet at home, in the rush. He was very nice about it, and just gave me a warning. Ten years later, I had a FBI background check, prior to federal employment. The FBI agent that interviewed me stated I had a 100% clean record, he started laughing, and stated, except for one thing; you drove without a license and registration, ten years ago. I was cleared for my federal position, however, I was surprised that there was a record of the traffic warning, still floating in a data base somewhere. Expect the best, but be prepared for the worst.
