If you live in Edmonton, you may have noticed that criminal record checks are becoming a fact of life. Many industries that didn’t expect you to have a clean record in the past are now expecting it. It’s a good idea to get an Edmonton Record Suspension if you want to find work or change careers. There are many reasons for this.
Oil and gas industry: Safety is an important issue. We know that having a record doesn’t mean you are unsafe at work. However, businesses are now requiring a clean record as part of their due diligence.
Remote camps: There is a lot of work available in remote camps, but employers want to avoid anything that might cause conflict with others, including assault, theft, drug possession or alcohol-related records. In fact, many camps are completely dry.
Construction: With the downturn in the oil and gas industry, money is flowing into public sector projects in order to help restore the economy. Government contracts often require record checks for everyone working on the project.
Marijuana production: Marijuana production companies are looking for people with a variety of different skills to meet the demand expected by recreational marijuana legalization. If you want to work in the marijuana industry, you will likely require a clean record.
Trucking: Being bondable and crossing the border are two major reasons why trucking companies are requesting record checks. You may need a US Waiver to cross the border if you have a criminal record. A Record Suspension will help you become bondable.
