How can I get a Canadian criminal record check (CRC) from outside Canada?
You don’t need to travel to Canada. Globeia is RCMP-accredited and can digitize your fingerprints and submit them electronically. Our team guides you to authorized agencies or local police stations to complete your criminal record check efficiently.
What documents are required to complete a CRC with Globeia?
You need two valid government-issued photo IDs (e.g., passport, driver’s license). All IDs must include your full name, date of birth, and photograph. Globeia accepts IDs from almost any country for your Canadian police clearance.
How long does it take to receive my Canadian criminal record check?
Once Globeia receives your fingerprints and documents, results are typically available in 30 minutes to 72 hours for negative CRC results. If a record is found, the RCMP processing may take up to 120 business days. Mailing time may add 1-2 weeks.
Can Globeia provide a criminal record check for employment purposes?
Yes. Our Canadian criminal record check is widely accepted for employment verification, HR screening, and compliance purposes across Canada and internationally.
