Your friends still need waivers every time they cross the border, because US Law enforcement did a criminal check with the Canadian Law enforcement before the pardons and now the information is in the US database even if gone from the Canadian database. I have been told that its almost impossible to get anything removed from the US database.
If your nephew is sure that he was never charged, fingerprinted and never went to court yet he has a criminal record, then he should perhaps get professional legal advice. Unless your nephew is not being entirely forthcoming with you, then perhaps he has been the victim of a clerical error by LE which has been known to happen.
He is also able to cross the US border without any hassles apparently.
If he has a criminal record, then his name is in the CPIC computer which lists criminal convictions under the Canadian Criminal Code and is shared with the USA and some other countries. Many people with criminal records cannot enter the USA very easily if at all.
He could contact cpic-cpic@rcmp-grc,gc.ca and explain his concerns.
A criminal record is different than a police record. The former means that someone has been convicted under the CCC while the latter pertains to information on someone that police have acquired during an investigation.
Many people have a police record aka “being known to the police” or being “ a person of interest”which has absolutely nothing to do with having a criminal record. Police records are not shared with third parties in general except other LE.
Police records are generally not destroyed, nor should they be as the information has the potential to be very useful in the future. Criminal records are different and can be expunged or erased from CPIC in certain circumstances such as plea bargains.
Except that's not what he got according to the OP. A vulnerable sector check which is needed for volunteering is not the same as a criminal record check and will include any interactions with police, even if charges were not pursued.
Agreed. And the border cops don't ask about convictions, they ask whether you've been arrested. They already know and it's a truth check.

Don't believe that impacts a vulnerable sector search (or the US border questions).
But that message I got about bitcoin last week sounded so good!
Yes, I recall an article in the Star about this. Can't remember if this was it.
