Canada
BIG performs thousands of background checks throughout the provinces and territories of Canada every year. Through this experience, we are able to offer our clients perfected processes and comprehensive compliance knowledge to ensure quick turnaround time and quality data.
Our process in Canada is essentially the same as in the United States from a research perspective, with the exception of criminal records searches. All criminal records searches in Canada are performed through the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s centralized criminal records database — CPIC. This is the only recognized source of accurate criminal records in Canada that complies with the Privacy Act.
