Local Licence Applicant Guide
Richmond Hill's Yonge Street corridor includes medical offices, long-term care facilities, and corporate parks where security professionals may be employed in licensable roles. Those applying for an Ontario security guard or private investigator licence must include a CRJMC in their Service Ontario application package. Ontario's licence guidance page identifies the CRJMC as the required check type — consult that page for current provider and submission requirements, and confirm the specific check type with your employer or the licensing body before ordering.
Before ordering any background check, the requester or recipient — guided by their employer and the applicable licensing requirements — must identify the correct check type. A CRJMC covers criminal records and judicial matters. A vulnerable sector check is a legally distinct product with a different process; it is not a substitute for a CRJMC and applies only to positions involving regular, unsupervised contact with vulnerable individuals. Anyone performing security work in Richmond Hill that may be licensable should confirm current requirements and any applicable exemptions with the relevant authority.
Richmond Hill's Yonge Street corridor includes long-term care facilities and medical campuses where those performing licensable security duties should confirm whether an Ontario licence is required — which in turn requires a CRJMC as part of the Service Ontario application.
