Before Your Background Check

Make sure to look through both your inbox and your spam folder for an email message from your employer about the background check. It's crucial to go through both folders to ensure you don't miss out on the email.

We carry out Criminal Record checks, based on the name and Date of Birth of an applicant, utilizing the database of Canadian Police agencies. This criminal record search provides information about the criminal convictions of the applicant within the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records, for which a pardon/record suspension has not been granted. All information discovered regarding the criminal record will be up to date till the date of the search.

 

The background check result will also contain voluntary disclosure of the record by the individual. A “Not Clear” determination during the checks will indicate confirmation of disclosure when provided by the individual. 

 

Please note: Details of criminal record convictions are not available in a Criminal Record check. These details are released upon fingerprint verification carried out by local police or accredited fingerprinting agencies. Please feel free to contact crimcheck.ca for further information.

 

Information excluded in a Criminal background check is as following:

 

  • Convictions where a pardon/ record suspension has been granted
  • Convictions due to mental disorder of the convict
  • Outstanding entries (i.e., charged and wanted person information)
  • Convictions under Provincial Statutes

If your business requires screening that includes local police records, crimcheck.ca will have its police partners look through local police databases to determine additional information that might be useful for screening. If they come across anything that is relevant, you'll be required to contact the police directly for that information. In the majority of cases, only the police service that has that information can give it to you. Afterward, you can share that information with the organization that requested it.

This service only provides name-based criminal record checks and does not include Vulnerable Sector Searches.

The information we share with our clients is sourced from a reliable Canadian Police Agency. Crimcheck Canada partners with many police departments across Canada to get name-based criminal record checks from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC). CPIC is the only national source of criminal records in Canada.

Once your identity verification (electronic or physical) is complete, you will get the results for criminal record checks; unless we need additional information or need to follow up with you first.

Your crimcheck.ca profile displays your criminal history as of the last search completed. It is updated only each time you conduct a Criminal Record Check. If you're in a pardon process or have had any changes to your criminal record made by the RCMP. There could be a delay before the record is added to the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) system. It takes time to process and enter data and it depends on the crime's jurisdiction.

Criminal Record Checks are valid as of the date they were conducted. Instead of an expiration date, we give the date when the check was issued. The organization that requested the background check determines its validity. If they think the time period till the last criminal check is too long, they can ask for a renewal.
