Your Criminal Record & Employment

If you’ve been charged with a crime or worse, convicted and found guilty, and you live in Edmonton Alberta, you could be facing serious problems. One critical issue is  your innability to secure employment. This can make it near impossible to support yourself and your loved ones. Fortunately, there is a legal procedure that can help remove this obstacle in your life.

Employers in Edmonton Alberta are performing criminal background checks much more frequently on potential candidates. In fact it has now become common practice. This makes it very challenging for you to find a job if you have a criminal record.

In many cases this even leads to highly qualified individuals not receiving the position they applied for because of a criminal conviction. In other situations, even if you were never found guilty of the crime you were charged with, the mere charge itself can still result in missing out on the job. This can still prevent you from landing a rewarding job because many employers expect to see absolutely no criminal involvement with the police.

Like many of the thousands of people we help, you may have even lost your current job to a less qualified individual because of a recently failed background search. This can be both shameful and devastating, especially considering that it may now be more difficult to find a new job.

This is why more and more Albertans are taking the right steps to find out the extent of their criminal record, and have it removed as an obstacle for finding work.
