Get Your Criminal Record Check in Calgary Online, In Minutes

You can get a criminal record check through the Crim Check website. You'll need to provide your identification and pay a fee.

There are two main types of Criminal Record Checks in Calgary:

• Standard Criminal Record Check(CRC): This checks for all criminal convictions in Canada, including summary, indictable, and hybrid offences.
• Vulnerable Sector Verification (VSV): This is a more in-depth check that goes beyond criminal convictions and includes police reports related to child abuse, sexual assault, and other relevant incidents. 

Calgary employers often request criminal record checks for several key reasons:

Protecting vulnerable populations: For jobs involving children, seniors, or those with disabilities, ensuring a candidate's suitability is crucial.

Meeting industry regulations: Some fields, like banking or aviation, mandate checks for specific roles.

Fulfilling licensing requirements: Professions like security guard or locksmith may require a clean record for licensing.

Assessing potential risks: Jobs with inherent safety risks or sensitive information handling may justify a closer look into an applicant's background.

Following company policy: Some companies have blanket policies requiring checks for all hires.

You can find more information about criminal record checks on the Crim Check team or by contacting the Calgary Police Service.

The results of the Criminal Record Checks are confidential and only shared with the employer. If your record is clear, you're good to go! If there are any concerns, the employer will likely discuss them with you directly.
