To forgive yourself.
We are hardest on ourselves. If you are in a position to be forgiven by the law, your society and the world, it is time to forgive yourself as well. Removing your record will erase that part of your past, and the darkness on your mind, once and for all.

George Washington.
Surely you have heard the story. When the first President of the United States was young, he chopped down a cherry tree in his backyard. His father was furious, and when he asked him if he had done it, he told him: "I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet." The fable is famous because it not only told of the importance of truth, but also the folly found within every man, and the forgiveness we all gain over time.

Reason #15 to Remove Your Record
A new leaf.
People change. While we may have been more reckless and wild in our youth, we mellow with age, we mature, and we become responsible. It is unfair to carry a stigma throughout your entire life from the indescretions of your youth. Forgiveness is forgiveness, and people are allowed to learn and grow. Without pardons, there would be no forward progress.

Privacy.
It is not that difficult to dig up your past. In some provinces, you can explicitly request someone's criminal record. Your business should be your business, especially when you are most likely seen as forgiven already in the eyes of the law. With a pardon, your record will be hidden, and your past forgotten and inaccessible.

Canadian citizenship.
Even people who are not Canadian citizens can hold a Canadian criminal record. This can be a problem if you have been waiting for your papers to come through, or if you have loved ones in the country. It is impossible to gain citizenship with a criminal record, unless, of course, you acquire a pardon first. If you are a landed immigrant and you get a record, you could be faced with deportation.

Everyday hassles.
If you are pulled over by the police for any reason, they can run your file, and see that you have a criminal record, no matter how long ago it happened. Customs officers also, have record to your files, even if you cross the border to go shopping, they can see everything. With a pardon, these records are removed from view.
