Application for termination order

(a) if five years have elapsed since the order was made, in the case of an order referred to in paragraph 490.013(2)(a);

Multiple orders
(2) A person who is subject to more than one order made under section 490.012 of this Act, or under that section and section 227.01 of the National Defence Act, may apply for a termination order if 20 years have elapsed since the most recent order was made.
Pardon or record suspension
(3) Despite subsections (1) and (2), a person may apply for a termination order once they receive a pardon or once a record suspension is ordered.
Scope of application
(4) The application shall be in relation to every order that is in effect. If a person is subject to an obligation under section 490.019 or 490.02901, under section 227.06 of the National Defence Act or under section 36.1 of the International Transfer of Offenders Act, the application shall also be in relation to that obligation.
Re-application
(5) A person whose application is refused may re-apply if five years have elapsed since they made the previous application.

(a) a superior court of criminal jurisdiction if
(i) one or more of the orders to which it relates were made by such a court under section 490.012, or

(b) a court of criminal jurisdiction, in any other case in which the application relates to one or more orders made under section 490.012.
