Police clearance - Quebec

[BunyanP 89]

Anyone in Quebec recently had their police clearance done? 
 

I finally found an office that’s open and it is with IdentitieQuebec. 
 

just wondering if anyone has any experience with them. 
 

local RCMP will not do them and the commisionaire office in Cornwall, on and Montreal and still closed.

For what's it's worth, some business are supposed to reopen on May 25th in Montreal. You could wait and see with commissionnaires. I ve read that they are professional and reliable, especially since the certified background check is tricky.

The privacy act background check is a non-certified background check even though it uses fingerprints.  It still has to go through RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records though so make sure it does all those things if you're going to use this company.

Some Red Seal notary offices will do it too if there's one within driving distance that offers the service.

I used commissionaires.  They knew exactly what was needed.  No experience with IdentiteQuebec.

Doesn't Commissionaires charges a lot for it though? If you have no previous background it takes only a week or so to receive everything for 25$ (30?) and the whole process right now is on pause, so getting your certificate in advance won't do much. I would just wait for RCPM to do them again. If you think it might take longer due to having a background though or if I'm wrong about Commissionaires then feel free to disregard this haha. (Might differ for CR-1 also idk?)

I went yesterday, paid $90( little pricey but at this point I don’t care). Took 10 mins and they were aware of the specific procedure. Should be getting it in 5-10 business days.

Great. Yes this is why it's still worth it!
