If I was charged with Fraud under $5000 in Ontario, Canada, went through the diversion program where my case was subsequently dropped, and had my fingerprints and photographs destroyed and removed from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC), would private firms who do background checks for employers have any access to any information? (I went through the diversion program in April 2004, and my fingerprints/photographs are going to be destroyed on October 13th, 2006. My charges were charged by the York Regional Police.) Additionally, if they do have access to this information and provided it to an accounting firm that has sent me a job offer, does the firm have the right to decline their offer? (The firm is one of the Big 4's in Accounting and I will be working in Toronto, Ontario.) |

I doubt the law would force a firm to hire a crook. |

I am going to take a guess here and assume that the job offer (if it is a written offer you can check yourself) is contingent upon the results of the background check. Therefore they can, in fact, rescind their job offer if your fraud conviction comes up. In fact, since your conviction was for fraud (which relates to the job that you are applying for) you have a greater chance of being rejected if the criminal background check comes up with it than if you had been convicted of something unrelated to your future job such as...burglary. |
