What information is obtained in a criminal background report?
A criminal background report is the history/record of an individual who has been involved in a criminal event or failure to comply with the laws. Any event of a criminal nature or indecent act is transferred to the court for judgment. Whether a crime is minor (summary procedure) or major (indictable offence), the offenses are punishable by the Crown prosecutor.
What is important to remember is that regardless of the level of the charge, if the final plea is guilty it creates a criminal record for the person.
All this information is kept in a confidential database and accessible as needed. A criminal record has a direct impact on the position targeted and can lead to a refusal of hiring in certain cases, depending on the industry, the employer and the disclosure of information in the hiring documents. In this way, the company acts with full knowledge of the facts.
There are 3 levels (levels) of offense:
Municipal: each city is independent and has its own directory. Generally speaking, there are minor offenses such as drunk driving, “petty theft”, minor assault, fraud, mischief, etc. The details of the file are accessible such as the nature of the offense, the pleas, the sentence and the statute.
Provincial: any criminal act (major or minor) is found at this level for the Province of Quebec. Details of the case are accessible such as the nature of the offense, pleas, sentence and status. (guilty, not guilty, ongoing).
National: any criminal act across Canada is found at this level. A statement must, however, be disclosed to have an affirmation of the offenses. Only causes deemed guilty or those in progress will be revealed. Offenses found not guilty or acquitted do not constitute a criminal record; they are therefore not considered in this particular database.
Exceptions are always possible:
