Durham Resume Submission Question

[Hopeful]

I have a question regarding my resume submission to Durham.

On the application form they ask for us to fill out they have these 2
questions:

1. Have you ever been convicted of any criminal offence for which a pardon has not been granted or issued?

2. If you were previously convicted under a federal statute, have you been granted or issued a pardon; or in the event of a discharge related to a finding of guilt, have the records sealed by the RCMP?

Here is my question: I had a Drinking and Driving offence 10 years ago. I received a pardon a few years back.

I know that in question 1 I answer NO.

But for question 2 I am not sure. They give you N/A, Yes or NO as possibilities.

I am not afraid to tell them the truth, but I was hoping that I could tell them in person instead of having to disclose that on a piece of paper.

To be honest I didn't think it was legal to ask that type of question.

I know these forms aren't mandatory for resume submission, but I do know they have to be filled out sooner or later.

Any experience with this?

Thanks

Answer honestly on the second question you should answer yes. They will not know what the problem was but they will ask during the interview. At that time you will have the chance to explain your situation. if you answer no or n/a and then tell them in the interview, you will fail immediately.

I totally agree. I want to be 100% honest. I just want to make sure that I answer the question properly. My point is that I thought it was illegal to ask that type of question. I know how to answer question 1, but I just wasn't sure about question 2.

If I had a drinking and driving offence in which I have received a pardon, does that mean I answer yes?

Thanks again

if you received a pardon then answer yes
