Before requesting a criminal record check, discuss with your employer which type they require. Please note that each check is good for only one organization.
There are four common types of criminal record checks in Alberta. Discuss with your employer which type they need before making your request.
Please note that each check is good for only one organization.
Name-based Criminal Record Check (CRC)
This is a basic background check for applicants looking to work or volunteer for an employer or organization. This is not a Vulnerable Sector Check, which is the type of background check needed for a role working with children or vulnerable adults.
A named-based CRC uses names and dates of birth to check the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) system for a criminal convictions summary and findings of guilt under the Youth Criminal Justice Act within the applicable disclosure period.
Certified Criminal Record Check
A certified CRC uses fingerprints when a name-based CRC can’t definitively confirm a person’s identity. A fingerprint search of the National Repository of Criminal Records is conducted by the RCMP’s Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS).
Police Information Check
A PIC is for employment or volunteer services that do not involve children or vulnerable adults.
A PIC is limited to criminal convictions, outstanding criminal charges and warrants, and other judicial orders. It can be used for employment outside of Canada, and you can apply for a PIC when you’re outside of Canada by verifying your identity with a local police force or the nearest consulate.
A PIC will search the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC), the Alberta Court system (JOIN), and the local police database.
Police Information Check – Vulnerable Sector
A PIC-VS:
Like a PIC, a PIC-VS will search the CPIC and JOIN, as well as local police databases, to determine if any patterns of behaviour exist that may harm a vulnerable person.
Finally, you can’t apply for a PIC-VS outside of Canada.
Here’s a general guideline of what types of occupations may ask for a criminal record check in Alberta and which kind.
This list isn’t meant to be exhaustive since different employers will ask for different criminal record checks, so be sure to confirm with them before making your request.
Name-based or Certified Criminal Record Check (CRC) and Police Information Check (PIC)
Police Information Check – Vulnerable Sector (PIC-VS)
Triton criminal record checks will satisfy a CRC and a PIC but not a PIC-VS.
According to RCMP policy, you must contact your local police station to acquire a vulnerable sector check. You can learn more about RCMP policy here.
