A Police Criminal Records Check is simply a reporting of Criminal Convictions.  This level of check will not include any pending charges or pending judicial matters nor will it include a search of pardonned sex offenders. 

Specifically a Police Criminal Records Check will include:

Only criminal convictions for indictable and hybrid offences for an indefinite period. Straight summary conviction offences will be reported for 5 years.  Convictions under the Youth Criminal Justice Act may be reported based on criteria set out in the Act. 

A Police Criminal Records Check will NOT include: 

Either Absolute or Conditional Discharges, outstanding criminal charges or warrants, any Court Orders, any findings of Not Criminally Responsible on Account of Mental Illness, information relating to records suspensions/pardons or any non-conviction information.
