Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC)

• LE220 Vulnerable Sector Check form. Adobe Reader must be utilized to open the form. Complete and submit the electronic form online. The form can be emailed directly from the application or you may need to save the file to your desktop and email it in as an attachment. If you require additional assistance, please see the bottom of this page. Please submit the Agency/ Organization letter with the application also.

This check is restricted to applicants seeking employment and/or volunteering in a position of authority or trust relative to vulnerable persons in Canada only. It is a collection of offence information, including: convictions, outstanding warrants, charges, judicial orders and sexual offence convictions for which the individual has received a record suspension where authorized by the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. In addition, non-conviction information shall be released only when a Risk Assessment has been completed to ensure the information being released is relative to the position being applied for. Check includes a search of the Pardoned Sex Offender Database (PSOD). 

Important: This check requires an Agency/Organization letter. The applicant is required to email the Agency/Organization letter when they submit their application.

The VSC is an Agency/Organization-driven request. In order to have this completed, you must have an agency/organization letter which explains that you need a VSC.  You will also need to give a detailed description of the specific job you will be hired/volunteer for, as well as a hiring manager’s name and contact number.
