Results of an Enahnced Criminal Record Check

Please be aware that the results presented in Fastkey reports adhere to the three standard responses specified in the Dissemination of Criminal Record Information policy.

Fastkey's Enhanced Canadian Criminal Record Check goes beyond our Basic check by accessing additional information sources to provide a more comprehensive view of your candidate's criminal history. This thorough investigation extends beyond the Basic check's scope, encompassing searches in the CPIC investigative data bank, the Public Safety Portal (formerly known as the Police Information Portal), and, in certain instances, local police indices and/or court registries. The search covers a range of items, including but not limited to:

  1. Summary conviction offences
  2. Pending charges of any kind
  3. Conditional and absolute discharges
  4. Wanted and accused person information
  5. Pending probation details
  6. Pending court orders and undertakings
  7. Pending release conditions
  8. Pending diversions, such as restorative justice
  9. Persons of special interest to the police
  10. Deportation orders
  11. Illegal entry charges from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)
  12. Charges that have been stayed or proceedings

The Enhanced check results are presented in the Criminal Record Check section of the report under Enhanced Canadian Criminal Record Check, with two possible outcomes:

Clear: Indicates that our check did not yield any results.

Not Clear: Signifies that our check returned results, which may include any items outlined in the summary of the Enhanced check. The determination is based on searches using your candidate's name and date of birth, and in some cases, additional identifiers like place of birth and address history.

Please note that the candidate's provided dates must be accurate within a two-year window to be considered a match.
