How long does it take to process the Police Record Check?
All applications for Police Record Checks are processed on a first-come first-served basis. All forms are date stamped when received and processed in the same order. ONCE documents are received by OESC, processing time for a Police Record Check is approximately 4 weeks (20 business days). If you are sending the forms by regular postal mail, please factor in the time it will take for the forms to be delivered to our P.O. Box and then forwarded to OESC for processing (3 business days). If you are sending the forms by courier you MUST use Priority Post or Express Post only. Other couriers (e.g. UPS, Purolator, FedEx) do not deliver to Canada Post P.O. Boxes.
