Important Information
➤ Online criminal record checks differ from RCMP-certified Criminal Record Checks, which require fingerprints. These checks are solely based on name and date of birth, without fingerprints, and are known as CPIC (Canadian Police Information Centre) and CRJMC (Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check).
➤ Please note that online criminal record checks are not suitable for various purposes such as immigration applications, record suspension (pardon) applications, submission to foreign countries, employment or volunteering in vulnerable environments requiring a vulnerable sector check. For these applications, you will need to provide your fingerprints and apply for an RCMP-certified criminal record check. Before submitting your application, please ensure its suitability for your intended purpose.
➤ If there is a match to your name and date of birth, you will be required to submit your fingerprints.
➤ Please ensure that all information provided in your application is accurate and complete to avoid delays or mistakes in processing.
➤ Once an application is submitted, no refunds will be issued, as it will be automatically forwarded to our partner police services for processing.

What do I need to bring with me to the appointment?For your appointment at our office, you must bring two pieces of valid ID and an instruction letter (if it has been issued to you by your organization such as IRCC). Health cards and social insurance cards are not acceptable and there are no exemptions.
-
How much time does this process take in your office?For digital fingerprints, the complete process would normally take less than 15 minutes. For ink and roll fingerprints, the process would take longer. Please note that for some clients, due to their poor fingerprints this processing time might take longer as we have to take their fingerprints several times.

How will I receive my results?The RCMP mails your results direclty to you or a third party's address on file via regular Canada Post mail. Some companies or organizations (such as IRCC or your employer) might ask for your results to be directly mailed to their address. In this case, you will not receive your results rather it would be sent to the requesting organization.

How can I follow up with RCMP on my results?If your results have taken longer than expected to be received, you can follow up with RCMP by calling them at 613-998-6362 or sending an email to CCRTIS-SCICTR@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. We suggest waiting at least two weeks before following up with RCMP.

How do I know if I need a vulnerable sector check?If you require a vulnerable sector check to work in certain occupations, you will be notified by your company/organization. A vulnerable sector check is done to protect children and other vulnerable people from physical, sexual, mental and financial abuse. Examples of people that would qualify for a vulnerable sector check would be a school teacher, a children's hockey coach, a nurse, a jail guard, or a janitor that works in a nursing home and will be alone with the residents in their rooms. A vulnerable sector check will include criminal convictions, of course, but it may also disclose pardoned offences or what are now called "record suspensions". It may also contain incidents where charges were not laid but where the applicant was acting in a way that was considered violent or a danger to public.
