Fingerprinting support for Canadian record suspension applications, RCMP criminal record checks, employment requirements, licensing, immigration, and other official purposes.
A record suspension allows eligible individuals with a Canadian criminal record to have their record kept separate from other criminal records after completing their sentence and meeting the applicable waiting-period requirements. The Parole Board of Canada (PBC) is responsible for processing record suspension applications and making the final decision.
As part of the application process, applicants must obtain an RCMP criminal record through electronic fingerprint submission. Fingerprints must be submitted electronically, and the fingerprint submission must clearly indicate that it is for a record suspension application.
At FingerPrint Pro, we provide electronic fingerprinting services for individuals who need fingerprints for a Canadian record suspension application. Our team captures your fingerprints and submits them electronically to the RCMP according to the applicable requirements.
