At Triton Canada, criminal record checks* are securely done within industry-leading turnaround times.

 

Our background check services are available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday to Friday, excluding holidays.

 

As soon as we receive your information, we run it through the RCMP’s Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) system.
