A conviction for sexual assault may result in an order requiring registration under the Sex Offender Information Registration Act. Registration can involve ongoing reporting obligations, updating personal information and providing notice of certain travel.
Whether an order must be made, whether an exemption may be available and how long the order will last depend on factors including the offence, how it was prosecuted, the sentence and any previous designated offence. SOIRA consequences should therefore be considered from the beginning of the case rather than only at sentencing.
