Before requesting a criminal record check, first discuss with your employer which type they require. There are four types of criminal record checks in Nova Scotia:
Name-based Criminal Record Check (CRC)
This is a basic check for applicants looking to work or volunteer for an employer or organization doing their due diligence and does not involve 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 (PIC)
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 are outside of Canada by verifying your identity with a local police force or the nearest consulate.
Police Information Check – Vulnerable Sector (PIC-VS)
A PIC-VS is for employment or volunteer services that involve children or vulnerable adults.
A PIC-VS includes criminal convictions, outstanding criminal charges and warrants, and other judicial orders, in addition to non-convictions and files in which you were a bona fide suspect in a founded substantiated offence. However, it won’t include unsubstantiated allegations.
A PIC-VS can only be done for organizations in Canada. The position itself can be outside of Canada, but the results of the vulnerable sector check must stay within Canada.
Finally, you can’t apply for a PIC-VS outside of Canada.
Here is a general guideline on what types of occupations may ask for a record check in Nova Scotia and which kind.
This list isn’t meant to be exhaustive because different employers will ask for different criminal record checks, so be sure to confirm with them before making your request.
Please note that each check is good for only one organization.
Name-based or Certified Criminal Record Check (CRC)
Triton criminal record checks will satisfy a name-based 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.
If a name-based CRC can’t confirm your identity and you need fingerprints for a certified CRC, then please contact your local police service for more information.
If you’re seeking a name-based CRC or a PIC, simply fill out our user-friendly online application.
