Criminal record checks are required in dozens of situations across Canada. Here are the most common reasons people come to GlobusID.

Most employers in Canada require a criminal record check before hiring — especially in healthcare, education, finance, and childcare.

Permanent residence, citizenship, and work permit applications often require an RCMP-certified criminal record check or police certificate.
Volunteering with vulnerable groups
Working with children, seniors, or people with disabilities requires a criminal record check — often with vulnerable sector screening.
Renting a property
Some landlords and property management companies request a criminal record check as part of the rental application process.
Security or government positions
Security clearance, government contractor roles, and law enforcement positions require RCMP-certified checks through official channels.

FAQ

check questions.
check questions.
The most common questions — answered clearly and honestly.
Ask us directlyWhat is the difference between a Canadian check and an RCMP check?
+
A Canadian criminal record check is a name-based search of the CPIC database — fast and suitable for most employment and volunteering purposes. An RCMP criminal record check is fingerprint-based, submitted directly through RCMP’s CCRTIS system, and is required for immigration applications, government positions, and security clearances. If you’re unsure, contact us — we’ll confirm in minutes.
Do I need fingerprints for a criminal record check?
+
Not always. For a standard Canadian check, fingerprints are not usually required. For an RCMP-certified check — required for immigration and security clearances — fingerprints are mandatory. We arrange fingerprinting (digital or ink & roll) at our Toronto office or coordinate for remote applicants.
How long does a criminal record check take?
+
A standard Canadian check typically returns within 2–5 business days. An RCMP-certified fingerprint check can take 2–8 weeks depending on RCMP processing volumes. We provide status updates throughout and notify you immediately of any delays.
Can I get a check if I’m currently outside Canada?
+
Yes. We serve applicants located anywhere in the world who need a Canadian criminal record check. The process is managed online with document submission by mail or digital upload where permitted. We guide you through every step remotely — in English or Tamil.
What happens if my check shows a criminal record?
+
If a record appears, we notify you privately before delivering the result. In some cases, a record suspension (pardon) may be relevant. We can advise you on next steps and point you to appropriate resources. All results are handled with complete confidentiality.
Is my personal information secure with GlobusID?
+
Yes. All personal data is collected and handled in full compliance with Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA). Your information is never shared with any third party beyond what is strictly required to complete your screening through Reliability Screening Solutions Inc. and the RCMP.
Do you provide support in Tamil?
+
Yes. Our team provides full service in both English and Tamil — by phone, WhatsApp, or in-person at our Toronto office at GTA Square. We understand how stressful immigration paperwork can be and make sure nothing is lost in translation.
