Did you know?
- It is an offence to conduct a vulnerable sector check if the
position does not meet the requirements of the Criminal Records Act.
- The hiring organization must make the request for a vulnerable
sector check. The person being checked provides consent but does not make
the request.
- There is no federal legislation that requires any organization to
conduct vulnerable sector checks. Contact your provincial or territorial government
for more information.
- Results of vulnerable sector checks are only made available to
organizations located in Canada.
Your certified criminal
record check (fingerprint-based) will show different information based on the
type of application you submit. Find your application type in the list below to
understand what information may appear on your criminal record check product,
if you have a criminal record on file.
Note
Young
persons under 18 years of age may only submit applications for the purposes of
government employment (federal, provincial, or municipal), citizenship, or
personal use.
