Police advise to apply for a record check as early as possible
Ontarians applying for police record checks are being warned about long delays. The OPP says online record checks are now taking up to three months to process due to high demand.
All applications must be completed online. Police are not accepting in-person requests.
The delay could affect people applying for jobs or volunteer positions that require a background check. Police are urging applicants to apply as early as possible to avoid last-minute problems.
The delay applies to all types of online record checks, including those for employment, volunteering, and vulnerable sector checks.
Officials thank the public for their patience and understanding. They say the backlog is temporary, but no end date has been announced.
