Police Check
Important information about police checks.
You must receive the exact criminal background check as listed below. No other types of criminal background check will be accepted.
All applicants must submit a police check dated within 6 months of their arrival date, as you will be applying for your work permit upon arrival in Canada at the first port of entry, whether this is an airport or a land border. Police checks issued before this date will be rejected
Your police check must be in English or French. If it is not, then you will need to obtain a translated copy from a certified translator in English or French.
You must also submit a police check from any country you resided in for more than 6 consecutive months since the age of 18. You do not need to obtain a police check for time spent in Canada.
