I am a Canadian Citizen but I am not in Canada and I require a Record Check. What do I do?

Contact your nearest Canadian Embassy or Canadian Consulate General. We cannot perform Record Checks internationally.

If there is no Canadian Embassy or Consulate, you may contact Canadian Foreign Affairs by calling 1-800-267-8376 or through their web site at www.international.gc.ca.
