Free Legal Tool
Check the one hard legal requirement for alternative measures (diversion), plus a general read on factors the Crown typically weighs.
Estimate only — not legal advice. Whether diversion is actually offered is always a Crown decision.* Diversion eligibility is ultimately a discretionary Crown decision, not a formula — this tool only flags the one hard legal requirement under Criminal Code s.717 and two commonly relevant factors, not a guarantee of any outcome.
You must fully and freely consent to participate — it's not something imposed on you.
Diversion is never available if you deny involvement or want the matter to go to court.
Beyond the hard rule, whether diversion is offered is entirely up to the Crown's discretion.
Completing a diversion program results in the charge being withdrawn, not a criminal record.
