Process 

If you have completed a criminal record check through the Ministry of Justice, you may be able to share the results with Simon Fraser University.

Before sharing your criminal record check results with SFU, contact the Ministry of Justice at 1-855-587-0185 to confirm the following:

• The criminal record check result is dated within 12 months from the start of your program.
• The criminal record check is schedule type B.
• The criminal record check is for working with CHILDREN and VULNERABLE ADULTS.

Please note: We only accept shared criminal record check results that meet all of the above requirements. Failure to meet these requirements means you must request a new criminal record check through the Ministry of Justice.

If the criminal record check results you previously completed meets the above requirements, please follow these steps to share the results with Simon Fraser University:

1. Go to the criminal record check page on the B.C. government website.
2. Enter the Simon Fraser University access code and the characters shown in the image. Select “Share the result of a completed criminal record check.” The Simon Fraser University access code can be found here.

Important: Do not use the back button on your browser.

3. Confirm that Simon Fraser University is displayed on the page and select “Next.” (Note: you cannot change anything on this page. Please leave “Role” as “Employee.” It will not affect your CRC sharing.)
4. Select “Yes” to the question on the Consent Information page and select “Next.”
5. Complete the form. Use “Practicum Student” when asked to provide your Position/Job Title. Select “Next.”
6. Review your information. Select “Next.”
7. Answer identity verification questions (based on your Canadian credit history) and select “Next.”
8. Your request should be processed.

If you receive the message, “The system could not find a completed criminal record check to share”, contact the Ministry of Justice for more information.

Note: We do not accept a paper, emailed or faxed copy of a criminal record check result done for another organization. The criminal record check must be addressed to Simon Fraser University.

Please email reginfo@sfu.ca to request a manual form. We will provide you with instructions so that we can submit your request to the Ministry of Justice manually through our organization portal. To complete the process, you'll need two pieces of ID, one of which must be a government-issued picture ID.

You may be receiving this error message for a variety of reasons. Please do NOT mail or fax your form to the Ministry of Justice. Follow the steps below to submit your criminal record check through Simon Fraser University.

1. Print out the criminal record check form you completed online. Make sure you sign the form on the last page. 
2. Email the form to reginfo@sfu.ca along with two pieces of ID, one of which must be a government-issued picture ID. You will then receive instructions on how to pay the $28 processing fee.

If you are unable to print the form, please email reginfo@sfu.ca.

NOTE: If you are under 19, your parent or guardian must also sign the last page of the form.

Simon Fraser University does not complete Criminal Record Check requests. We receive the results once they are processed by the Ministry of Justice. The link https://justice.gov.bc.ca/eCRC/ is to the Ministry of Justice's online Criminal Record Check application system. We do not have access to the information you have submitted online to the Ministry of Justice.

We do not accept criminal record check results from the RCMP or VPD. We can only accept the Ministry of Justice criminal record checks.

The Ministry of Justice charges $28 for processing a criminal record search for students. Unfortunately, this fee cannot be waived.
