n Ontario, a Level 1 background check is officially known as a Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC). It is the most basic form of police record check and is commonly required for employment, volunteering, immigration, or licensing purposes that do not involve working with vulnerable populations.

What a Level 2 CRJMC Includes

The CRJMC provides details on:

• Criminal convictions from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) and/or local police databases.

• Findings of guilt under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) within the applicable disclosure period.

• Outstanding entries, such as charges before the courts, warrants, judicial orders, peace bonds, probation, and prohibition orders.

• Absolute and conditional discharges within their respective disclosure periods (1 year for absolute discharges, 3 years for conditional discharges).

This check does not include:

• Non-conviction information, such as withdrawn or dismissed charges.

• Convictions where a record suspension (pardon) has been granted.

• Convictions under provincial statutes.

• Family court restraining orders.

• Mental health information or details from local police investigative files.

• Vulnerable sector screening.

Common Uses for a Level 2 CRJMC

This type of check is typically required for:

• Employment positions that require a more thorough background check but do not involve working with vulnerable populations (e.g., retail, banking, trades).

• Municipal licensing applications (e.g., taxi or ride-sharing services).

• Immigration and border crossing purposes.

• Security guard licensing.

• Adoption processes.
