Home POLICE CERTIFICATE (ECPIC)

A Police Certificate is generally issued for people who are leaving the country and seeking employment in private sector and require a Criminal Record Check. This includes visa applicants, foreign travel, and foreign work permits. People who want to apply for private sector employment, renting a house/basement, applying for school admission etc in Canada can also apply for this certificate on required basis. We encourage you not to apply for this certificate if you have a criminal conviction. We send your request duly completed to police authorities electronically (which is called ECPIC).
Police Certificates based on your name and date of birth are issued and cleared within 48 hours.
