Diversion Eligibility Checker

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.

🤝

Consent Is Required

You must fully and freely consent to participate — it's not something imposed on you.

🚫

The One Hard Rule

Diversion is never available if you deny involvement or want the matter to go to court.

⚖️

Always a Crown Decision

Beyond the hard rule, whether diversion is offered is entirely up to the Crown's discretion.

📁

No Conviction on Success

Completing a diversion program results in the charge being withdrawn, not a criminal record.
