How to Process

The Criminal Record Check (also known as a “Police Certificate”) must be issued by a national police authority from the applicant's country of primary citizenship. CRCs issued by police authorities below the national level will not be accepted. The CRC must be dated within 6 months of the contract starting date.

Application Period			CRC must be dated starting from:
Spring Intake	Main (February)		August 1^st
	Late	March	September 1^st
	Late	April	October 1^st
Fall Intake	Main (August)		February 1^st
	Late	September	March 1^st
	Late	October	April 1^st

We recommend obtaining the CRC at least one month after the main intake requirement if you wish to be also considered for late-intake positions.

A physical national-level apostille must be affixed to the original CRC by the proper government office.

At this time, we are unable to process digital apostilles.

Applicants should use the links in the following table to begin the process of obtaining the proper national-level criminal record check and apostille for their country of primary citizenship. Please keep in mind that processing times can be heavily delayed based on various factors, such as the volume of requests and/or geopolitical situations. We strongly recommend beginning this process as early as possible to ensure it will be ready by the document submission deadline for the intake.

IMPORTANT NOTES

If you are currently residing in a foreign country and have been there for 2 or more consecutive years, you may be requested to submit an apostilled CRC from that country as well. Details will be discussed during or after the interview, but it would be good to begin this process early as well if you fall under this category.

If you have completed your Bachelor's degree outside of your home country, you must also supply an apostilled CRC from that country.

For US applicants, the FBI background check must be apostilled by the US Department of State Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C. A state-level apostille on a notarized copy of the background check will not be accepted.

For UK & Australian applicants, if you have ever received a legal name change in your home country, you must be sure to list all former legal names on your CRC application where asked and they should be clearly listed on the record check result. If the office is unable to do this, please contact your assigned coordinator/recruiter after a successful interview.

For Canadian applicants, the original RCMP fingerprint background check result must be apostilled at the federal level by Global Affairs Canada. Provincial-level apostilles on notarized copies of the background check will not be accepted.
