Being accused of fraud is overwhelming — your reputation, employment, and future may all feel at risk. But it is important to remember:
A charge is not a conviction. You still have rights — and a strong defence can protect your record.

Fraud Charges in Ontario — What You’re Facing
Fraud is a criminal offence under the Criminal Code of Canada and involves intentionally deceiving another party to gain money, property, services, or a benefit.
Fraud is classified as:
- Fraud Under $5,000 – A criminal offence, but prosecuted more leniently.
- Fraud Over $5,000 – Treated as an indictable offence, with much more severe penalties.
Legal Representation and Licensing Requirements
We provide legal services for:
- Fraud Under $5,000 — Represented directly by our licensed paralegals.
- Fraud Over $5,000 or indictable fraud-related offences — Provided under the direction and supervision of a licensed lawyer, as required by the Law Society of Ontario.
It is important to understand that paralegals in Ontario cannot independently represent clients in fraud over $5,000 or other serious criminal matters unless they are working under a lawyer’s direction. XPolice strictly follows this regulation.
Potential Consequences of a Fraud Conviction
A fraud conviction can result in:
- A criminal record (affecting travel, immigration, employment)
- Fines and restitution orders
- Probation or jail time (up to 14 years for major cases)
- Loss of employment or professional licences
- Permanent damage to financial credibility
Why You Shouldn’t Explain Yourself to Police or Employers
Many people panic and try to “clear it up” by speaking with police or employers. This can seriously harm your case.
- Anything you say can be used against you
- You are not required to provide a statement
- You have the right to legal representation
