Been off probation for 23 years and califorina probation can't find any records and my old case number was given to a felon in 1992... they act like they don't know what to do at the probation department... so if there is no record what the hell do I do... I need something I'm trying to clear my record... my wife and childern are in Canada and I'm trying to do the wright thing so I can go back to my life in Canada... Please help.

What IS on your record? Why is it an issue?

First you will need to clear your conviction record if you need to clear something ( and I don't know what you need to clear and why) I don't know why that a 23 year old record would stop you from being in Canada.

But the court that sentenced you would have your conviction record. If you want that record cleared, you hire an attorney and petition the court to expunge your criminal history.

Your probation record would merely be a record of what happened while you were on probation, the court records would show you received probation and show the probation release date. I see no reason at all you should even be in contact with the probatin department, they can't clear their records and their records are not what is checked for a criminal history.
