Generally speaking, Canadian Criminal records remain until the individual is 80 years old with no criminal activity reported in the last 10 years. This means if you have been convicted of a criminal offense for which you have not been pardoned for in Canada and are below the age of 80, these convictions will show up in your criminal record check. If you were convicted of an offense as a young offender but have not been convicted as an adult, the record offense will be sealed after the applicable waiting period has passed.

Neither the Canadian Embassy nor Canadian Consulates provide criminal background checks. They also are not able to give any information or updates about a criminal background check.
