Criminal Records Checks and Pardons for Criminal Offenses

Many people who have lived in Canada and are applying for employment or a visa are asked to obtain a police Criminal Record Certificate or a Criminal Record Verification Check for the time they stayed in Canada. Information about this process can be obtained from Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Those requiring to have fingerprints taken in support of their criminal records check should contact the local police in the U.S. or Bermuda. In New York City, contact:

New York City Police Department
One Police Plaza
Room 152A
New York, New York, 10038
(646) 610-5541

Pardons may be applied for by persons previously convicted of a criminal offense in Canada. Apply for a pardon.
