We now have MyBackCheck up and running. The only changes will be that in order to complete the application:
MyBackCheck will send you a message to complete an ID Verification Form (that they will send you). You are required to complete Section #2, sign and forward to this office (Fax: 416-490-6911) together with copies of two pieces of government-issued photo identification. We will complete the rest of the form and forward it to MyBackCheck. Acceptable photo ID is: Driver’s License, Passport, Foreign Driver’s License, Canadian Citizenship Card, Canadian Permanent Resident Card, Certificate of Indian Status, International Student Identity Card, Firearms Acquisition Certificate, Canadian National Institute of the Blind Identification Card, Military Family Identification Card. A Health Card is NOT acceptable. If you do not have a second piece of photo ID a birth certificate is acceptable.
A process sheet will be posted to the COAC Registration website on Monday. Once the COAC receives the “Service Order Form” staff will complete the appropriate part of the form and fax it to MyBackCheck. This satisfies the requirement of the RCMP.
At the current time individuals are only able to complete the Criminal Record Check but once the concerns of the RCMP have been met and they are again able to complete the vulnerable sector screening (which we anticipate within 2 weeks) they will go back, at no charge, and complete the vulnerable sector screening. In the meantime, we will accept the Criminal Record Check.
Hope this helps and thank you all for your patience as we work through these new requirements. It has been very frustrating!
