{{Short description|Type of prisoner release in Canadian law}}
'''Day parole''' is a form of release under [Canadian law](/source/Canadian_law) that permits prisoner participation in public activities during the day, and requires they return to their [prison](/source/prison) or [halfway house](/source/halfway_house) nightly.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2015-09-18 |title=Types of conditional release |url=https://www.canada.ca/en/parole-board/services/parole/types-of-conditional-release.html |access-date=2023-08-25 |website=www.canada.ca}}</ref> The [Parole Board of Canada](/source/Parole_Board_of_Canada) may waive this requirement, or choose to impose additional conditions. This is often preparatory for [statutory release](/source/statutory_release) or full [parole](/source/parole).

== Eligibility ==
In Canada, a prisoner serving a sentence of two years or longer is eligible to apply for day parole six months prior to eligibility for full parole, or after six months (whichever is greater). Those serving [life](/source/life_sentence) or [indeterminate sentences](/source/indeterminate_sentence) are eligible to apply for day parole after three years, or three years before full parole eligibility (whichever is greater).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-06-28 |title=Types of Release |url=http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/parole/002007-0003-eng.shtml |access-date=2023-08-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130628193359/http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/parole/002007-0003-eng.shtml |archive-date=2013-06-28 }}</ref>
