Canada's Premiere Background Check
FOR PEOPLE LIVING OUTSIDE OF CANADA ONLY
The RCMP's Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS) maintains the national database of criminal records in Canada. Local authorities and accredited fingerprinting agencies across Canada, such as Canadian Fingerprint Agency, contact CCRTIS to check the fingerprint records of people who have been charged or convicted of a crime. The database is also used for civil (non-criminal) purposes, specifically to confirm a person's identity in criminal record checks.
Digital Fingerprinting and background checks for all your employment needs.
