Various background checks are utilized in this province for different objectives. A Criminal Record Check (CRC) is a basic background check that uses the information regarding the applicant's name and birthdate to identify any convictions in the databases. This check is commonly required for employment and volunteering purposes.
A Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) is necessary for specific employment or volunteer roles where individuals hold authority over the Canadian vulnerable sector. This check provides information on convictions, charges, warrants, non-convictions, and record suspensions through the databases.
For purposes such as immigration or adoption, an RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check is required. This fingerprint-based, comprehensive check delivers accurate and detailed information about an individual’s Canadian criminal history.
