RCMP Background Check & Fingerprinting Services in Brampton

Brampton's Trusted RCMP Fingerprinting & Background Check Provider

Here’s what surprises most Brampton residents: Peel Regional Police no longer offers fingerprinting for non-criminal matters, and their record checks have moved online. So when your employer, IRCC, or licensing body asks for a certified RCMP background check or fingerprints, where do you actually go? GBWS is the answer for thousands across Peel Region. From Bramalea, Mount Pleasant, Springdale, Castlemore, or downtown near the Four Corners, our office is minutes away down Highway 410 to the 401, offering digital fingerprints, certified RCMP checks, FBI clearance, pardons, and Canadian immigration support in one place.

Understanding Your Options: Police Checks vs. RCMP Background Checks

An RCMP background check searches the national repository of criminal records, either by name and date of birth (name-based) or verified through your fingerprints (certified). Peel Regional Police offers online record checks for Brampton residents in three levels, but certified fingerprint-based checks still require an accredited fingerprinting company.

Level 1: Criminal Record Check: the simple background check, convictions only, fine for many jobs.
Level 2: Criminal Record & Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC): adds outstanding charges and judicial matters, often required for border-related work, licensing, and immigration-adjacent roles.
Level 3: Vulnerable Sector Check: for work with children, seniors, or vulnerable persons; this must go through Peel police directly, and no private company can issue one.

When your requirement says certified, fingerprint-based, or is for citizenship, PR, a pardon, or an FBI check, that’s exactly what we do, in one visit.

FBI Check & FBI Background Check for Brampton Residents

Brampton is one of Canada’s fastest-growing immigration hubs, and cross-border needs come with that: U.S. green cards, work transfers, waivers after a border refusal. All of these typically require an FBI background check, officially an FBI Identity History Summary. We capture the prints and manage the full submission in the same visit as your RCMP check, so your U.S. file doesn’t stall for weeks.

Pardon (Record Suspension) Services in Brampton

A conviction from years ago can still cost you a job offer at the warehouse, the airport, or the hospital; Brampton’s biggest employers all screen. A record suspension seals your criminal record with the Parole Board of Canada, so checks come back clear. Unlike fingerprint-only shops, we don’t stop when your check reveals a record; that’s where our real work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Peel police still do fingerprinting in Brampton?

Not for civilian purposes. Peel Regional Police no longer offers fingerprinting for non-criminal matters and directs residents to RCMP-accredited agencies; its own record checks are submitted online.

What's the difference between a Peel police check and an RCMP background check?

Peel’s online checks (Levels 1–3) are name-based searches suited to many local employment needs. An RCMP-certified check verifies your identity by fingerprinting against the national repository and is required for citizenship, immigration, pardons, and federal screening.

How long does an RCMP background check take in Brampton?

With digital fingerprints and no record on file, certified results typically process in about 3 business days, RCMP volumes permitting. If a record exists, it takes longer, and we can start your record suspension in the same visit.

Can a withdrawn charge still show up on my check?

Yes; non-conviction records and fingerprints on file can appear on detailed checks. We prepare fingerprint and photograph destruction requests so that old, dismissed matters no longer cost you opportunities.

Do you handle FBI checks in Brampton too?

Yes. The FBI Identity History Summary is processed in the same appointment as your RCMP check, with secure handling of the U.S. submission.

How much does a background check cost in Brampton?

It depends on the type; name-based checks cost the least, while certified RCMP and FBI checks include fingerprinting and government fees. Free consultation, exact quote, no hidden disbursements.
