Local Licence Applicant Guide
The City of Mississauga's taxicab-licensing page says a new taxicab driver-licence applicant must provide a criminal record check issued by a Canadian police service within the preceding 60 days. This is a city licensing requirement for that specific application, not a rule for every occupation.
Peel Regional Police expressly identifies Mississauga residents among the people who can apply to the service for a criminal record check or record suspension. Applicants should still ask the organisation requesting a check which type it requires.
The Pearson-area and Highway 401 employment corridor includes a wide range of roles where employers may require background screening before onboarding. Always confirm with your employer or licensing body which check type and format they require before starting an application.
Several record check levels exist under Ontario's police record check framework. Before applying, confirm in writing with the requesting organisation whether a basic record check, a CRJMC, or a vulnerable sector check is needed — each serves a different purpose and is not interchangeable.
Accepted check formats and submission methods can change. Always follow the current instructions provided by the organisation requesting the check rather than assuming a previous method or format remains valid.
A Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC), also called a Level II police check, is one type of police record check. Confirm the current check requirement, issuer, format, recency, and acceptance directly with the licensing authority before ordering.
Residents of Mississauga can begin an application online through CRJMC.solutions. Police-check processing is powered by LawCheck; processing time, delivery format, and any additional steps can vary.
