Fastkey vs. Bchex

Fastkey provides an Enhanced Canadian Criminal Record Check, known in Ontario as a Judicial Matters Check, which expands on the Basic Canadian Criminal Record Check by delving deeper into the CPIC Investigative Data Bank and/or the Police Information Portal (PIP). This thorough examination yields results based on the person's name and date of birth. It not only checks the validity of any criminal convictions listed in the CPIC database but also verifies the presence of any pertinent record information. Included in this assessment are summary convictions, outstanding warrants, pending court proceedings, indictable offenses, peace bonds, and any active prohibitions or probation orders. By leveraging both the CPIC Investigative Data Bank and PIP, this inquiry guarantees a comprehensive evaluation of the individual’s criminal history. Consequently, this meticulous screening process aims to promote safety and clarity in various settings, including job applications and volunteer roles, ultimately fostering a more trustworthy environment for all. The Enhanced Canadian Criminal Record Check serves as a vital tool for organizations looking to ensure the integrity of their personnel.
