SterlingBackcheck
As part of our commitment to the Responsible Coaching Movement led by the Coaching Association of Canada, we have partnered with Sterling Talent Solutions to provide an online criminal record check process at a system-low price of $25 +tax for coaches, team personnel, staff, and volunteers.
The only difference between a traditional Criminal Record Check (CRC) with Vulnerable Sector Verification (VSC) and an E-PIC is that E-PICs do not check for Pardoned Sexual Offences, and therefore only the following individuals are eligible to submit an E-PIC:
- Returning staff/volunteers: Due to current legislation regarding waiting periods for pardons/record suspensions of 10 years for indictable offences, any person that has completed a Vulnerable Sector Check with a 'clear' result within the past ten years would not have to complete a search for pardoned sex offences once again, as any new convictions for sexual offences would be uncovered during a standard Criminal Record Check before 10 years elapses.
- Individuals born after February 28, 1986: The date of birth belonging to the youngest person with a pardoned sexual offence is February 28, 1986. Therefore, any search for pardoned sexual offences on a candidate born after February 28, 1986 is not required. The federal government passed legislation in 2012 preventing anyone from obtaining a record suspension (pardon) for any sexual offences going forward. This means the list of pardoned sexual offenders is not growing and therefore, this date will not be changed going forward.
