Criminal Records and Background Checks (CPIC) – Canadian Police Information Centre Check)

CPIC is a criminal conviction summary search result based on a person's name and date of birth from the local and national Canadian Police database or the National Repository of Criminal Records database.

We work hand in hand with the local police departments across Canada. This is why we can search through the database confidently to find criminal records for background checks and reliable background checks.

Canada's Criminal Record Checks based on birth date and name generally take around 15 minutes. We have a user-friendly portal for background checks. Once done, we send you the outcomes via email.

No, you cannot! Our services cater to the needs of Canada's Criminal Record Checks (CPIC) alone. We use the name and birth date of an individual for this check. We do not use VSS (Vulnerable Sector Search) for this purpose. As per RCMP policy, only the police agency of a locality is entitled to carry out this search.

A Vulnerable Sector Search becomes necessary when you intend to work with a vulnerable individual like children, senior citizens etc. The Vulnerable Sector check may be required when applying to positions like social worker, teacher, nurse, etc

We generally accept Mastercard, Visa, and American Express.

Globeia’s top priority has always been keeping the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information intact. We abide by strict security standards and protect your data throughout the process. We assure you that we handle your information with the utmost confidentiality and care.

You will receive an email of the CPIC check as per the process. However, if you need the original document mailed to you, please reach out to the team at Globeia. The original document will be mailed to your address for an additional courier charge.

You need to have a valid identity proof (not expired) indicating your name, date of birth and photograph.

CPIC check results are based on the search results based on your name and date of birth as reflected in the local or national police database and the national repository of criminal records database. If you have already received incomplete results, the team at Globeia cannot help you get different results. You would need to complete a fingerprint submission to the RCMP to obtain the criminal record check results.

The CPIC check application form seeks information on your address history. You won’t be able to proceed with the search without a Canadian Address mentioned in your address history along with your duration of stay at that address.

You need to have a valid photo ID in order to proceed, Canadian IDs are not mandatory for the process. You can proceed with a foreign ID as well as long as it is valid and in English.

The validity of the CPIC results is determined by the organization requesting the check. We recommend that you reconfirm with the authorities who require this document to know the exact period of validity as it varies.
