In Manitoba, various Canadian background checks are used for different purposes. A Police Criminal Record Check (PCRC) is used to find details on convictions against the applicant’s name and birthdate details through databases.
A Police Information Check (PIC) is used to disclose details of convictions, charges, warrants, non-convictions, discharges, etc. through police management systems and databases.
A Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector (PIC-VS) is used for certain kinds of roles in employment or volunteering that involve authority over Canadian vulnerable citizens. This check discloses information on convictions, warrants, charges, discharges, record suspensions, etc. through databases.
An RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check is the most comprehensive check based on fingerprints. This check provides accurate details about an individual’s criminal history in Canada. An RCMP check is typically used for immigration and adoption.
