Need a Criminal Record Check in Toronto?

Before requesting a criminal record check, discuss with your employer which type they require. There are three types.

Please note that each check is good for only one organization.

Level 1: Police Criminal Record Check (PCRC)

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 a type of background check needed for a role working with children or vulnerable adults.

A PCRC includes a criminal convictions summary and findings of guilt under the Youth Criminal Justice Act within the applicable disclosure period.

Level 2: Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC)

A CRJMC is for applicants who need a basic criminal record check like the PCRC, along with a search of outstanding entries and charges. A CRJMC will include outstanding entries, such as charges and warrants, judicial orders, peace bonds, probation, prohibition orders, and absolute and conditional discharges for one or three years, respectively.

Level 3: Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVS)

A PVS is for candidates looking to work or volunteer with vulnerable persons, who are defined as a person who, because of their age, a disability, or other circumstances, whether temporary or permanent, are in a position of dependence on others or are otherwise at a greater risk than the general population of being harmed by the person(s) in a position of authority or trust to them.

In addition to the information provided in a CRJMC and a PCRC, a PVS also includes charges that resulted in a finding of not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder and pardoned offences authorized under the Criminal Records Act Non-conviction information authorized through Exceptional Disclosure.
