Australia Employee Background Checks

Local Level - Provincial Courts (All other provinces)/(Alberta only)

Requirements: Full name, date of birth, current Canadian address, release form

A provincial search is a local court search that is based on the applicant’s residence history. This search will return any summary and indictable offenses found in the particular province being searched and will include more details than the CPIC search such as date of offense, charge type, disposition and sentencing information. In most cases these searches can be completed in 3-5 business days.

Nationwide – Canadian Police Information Centre

Requirements: Full name, date of birth, Canadian consent form and 2 copies of acceptable ID's

The Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) is a national database managed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The CPIC system contains fingerprint-based records which includes indictable and hybrid offenses. An indictable offense is considered a more serious charge such as assault, manslaughter, kidnapping and theft over $5,000. Hybrid offenses (sometimes called a “Crown option” or “dual procedure”) are offenses tried either summarily or by an indictment. Summary offenses are not included in the CPIC system and are typically considered minor crimes such as disturbing the peace. Conducting a check in the CPIC system will return a clear/not-clear based on a name-match only. In order to obtain a certified criminal record, fingerprints must be taken and submitted to ensure if there is a criminal records match for the individual being screened.

While the initial results are rather instantaneous, the fingerprinting process can cause significant delays. According to the RCMP, when electronic fingerprints are submitted and there is no match in the system, the process can take 3 business days or less. However, if there is a match it could take 120 days or more. If paper fingerprints are submitted, it could take 22 weeks if there is no match and 120 days or more if there is a match.

Reporting time frames and turnaround times vary depending on the Province. Currently, the MVR search is not available through Info Cubic in Alberta or British Columbia due to third party restrictions.
