Parole Hearings Explained
A parole hearing determines whether you can be released from custody to serve the rest of your sentence in the community, under specific conditions.
There are two main types:
- Federal Parole (Parole Board of Canada) – for those serving more than 2 years
- Ontario Parole Board – for sentences under 2 years served in provincial institutions
Parole does not erase your sentence — it simply allows you to finish serving it outside of jail, provided you follow all conditions.
Why the Right Representation Changes Outcomes
Parole hearings are complex and high-stakes. Without skilled legal representation, you may:
- Struggle to present your case clearly and persuasively
- Be caught off-guard by difficult questions
- Miss opportunities to show your rehabilitation and readiness
- Risk being denied and having to wait months — or years — to reapply
We help build and present your case strategically so the board sees your full story — not just your file.
“From the very beginning, Damian approached my situation with empathy and genuine care. He took the time to truly understand what I was going through and never made me feel like just another case. His knowledge and clear guidance helped navigate a complex legal situation with confidence.”

Parole Hearings Explained — Know the Process, Know Your Options
Got questions about your upcoming parole hearing? You’re in the right place.
This FAQ is designed to give you clear, reliable answers about provincial and federal parole hearings in Ontario, including what the Parole Board looks for, how the hearing works, what evidence matters most, and how professional representation can increase your chances of success.
If you’re feeling stressed or unsure about the next steps, these answers will help you understand the process — and show you exactly how to prepare for the strongest possible outcome.
1. What is the difference between federal and provincial parole?
Federal parole applies to individuals serving sentences of more than two years and is handled by the Parole Board of Canada.
Ontario parole applies to individuals serving less than two years in provincial custody and is overseen by the Ontario Parole Board.
The process and criteria are similar, but they are governed by different authorities and laws.
2. Am I guaranteed parole at my hearing?
No. Parole is not automatic.
You must demonstrate that:
- You are no longer a risk to the community
- You’ve taken steps toward rehabilitation
- You have a solid release plan (housing, work, support system)
Having a strong advocate can significantly improve your chances.
3. What happens during a parole hearing?
The Board will review your file and ask you questions about your:
- Criminal history and behavior while in custody
- Programs completed (e.g., anger management, addiction support)
- Release plan and community support
- Insight into your offence and your progress
We help you prepare, practice, and present your case confidently.
4. What if I’m denied parole?
If you’re denied, you may have to wait several months to reapply. However, you may also have the right to appeal the decision or request an early review in some cases.
We’ll walk you through your options and help you build a stronger case.
5. Do I need a lawyer or paralegal for a parole hearing?
It’s not mandatory, but highly recommended.
A licensed paralegal familiar with parole hearings can:
- Help you prepare your file and submission
- Attend the hearing with you
- Ensure your rights are protected
- Present your case professionally and persuasively
We’ve helped clients get approved on their first hearing — and after prior denials.
6. How much does it cost?
We offer flat-fee pricing with no hidden charges. You’ll know the full cost before you commit. It will also be stated in your written retainer agreement.
Your initial consultation is free and confidential.
Our fees are listed right here on our website on the Criminal Matters Fee Schedule page.
7. How do I book a consultation?
You can call us directly or book online through our secure form.
We offer phone or video consultations.
