A 'stay' is a court order preventing the carrying out of any further action until a future event occurs, or the stay order is lifted. (e.g.: A 'stay' may be granted to allow a party to provide evidence that might prevent the stayed action from being carried out.)

In Canada this is usually requested by the Crown (prosecution)

It means that for some reason the Crown does not wish to proceed.

The case can be reactivated within a year (usually)

If the case is not reactivated within the time constraint then it is like the charges were dropped.
