Release of Completed Criminal Record Screening Certificate

Criminal Record Screening Certificate (CRSC)

The RNC will provide the results of a completed Criminal Record Screening Certificate (CRSC) only to you, the applicant.

It is your decision to discuss the results of a Criminal Record Screening Certificate (CRSC) with the agency where you want to work or volunteer.

The role of the RNC is to provide you with the results of the Criminal Record Screening Certificate (CRSC). It is the responsibility of the volunteer or employment agency to determine your suitability for the position.

Criminal Record Screening and Vulnerable Sector Certificate (CRSC/VS)

The RNC will complete a Criminal Record Screening and Vulnerable Sector Certificate (CRSC/VS) based on your name, gender and date of birth, as well as, gender and date of birth. A completed Criminal Record Screening and Vulnerable Sector Certificate (CRSC/VS) will be provided to you, the applicant.

The role of the RNC is to provide you with the results of the Criminal Record Screening and Vulnerable Sector Certificate (CRSC/VS). It is the responsibility of the volunteer or employment agency to determine your suitability for the position.

Note: If the Vulnerable Sector Scan is inconclusive a fingerprint based search will be required. If the RCMP confirms that you have received a record suspension (pardon) for a sex offence, the information will be forwarded to the Minister of Public Safety to authorize disclosure of all or part of the information contained in your file. When the information is authorized for disclosure by the Minister, the criminal record associated with your fingerprints will be returned to the RNC and will include the pardoned sexual offence information.

At this point the RNC will be required to obtain your consent in writing for disclosure of the record(s). When you have signed the form giving consent to release the record(s) the RNC must forward the information to the requesting agency (employer or volunteer agency). If you do not consent to the release of the information, the RNC will advise the requesting agency (employment or volunteer) they are unable to complete the vulnerable sector record check.
