Three ways to get it
Peel Regional Police, the OPP or MyCheck: what is the difference?
In Peel, Brampton and Mississauga residents apply to Peel Regional Police, and Caledon residents apply to the OPP. Both take applications online only. Here is how they compare with MyCheck.
| Compared | Peel Regional Police | OPP (Caledon) | MyCheck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who can apply | Mississauga and Brampton residents | Residents of OPP-policed communities, including Caledon | Anyone with a recent Canadian address |
| Price | $35 per check. Level 1 and 2 checks are free for volunteers with a letter | $41 per check. Volunteer checks are free | $39 for Level 1, $49 for Level 2. ID verification included |
| Turnaround | About 10 business days | About 10 days on average in April 2026, with a 30-day service standard | Most checks in minutes. The rest usually within 4 hours |
| How you apply | Online only. The records office at 7750 Hurontario Street is closed for in-person service | Online only. Detachments no longer take applications | Online, from your phone |
| ID | Two government IDs, plus an electronic identity check that needs a bank account and credit history | Identity confirmed with questions about your financial history | One government ID, matched to a live capture |
| Vulnerable sector check | Yes, $35 | Yes | No |
If you are volunteering, or can wait about two weeks, Peel Regional Police and the OPP are both good options, and volunteers pay nothing for most checks. MyCheck is for when you need a criminal record check today, for a job, an agency or a lease. If the organisation asking has named Peel Regional Police, or needs a vulnerable sector check, apply to the police service where you live.
Peel Regional Police fees, process and timing from the Peel Regional Police record checks page, and OPP fees and process from the OPP record checks page, both checked 14 October 2026. OPP turnaround as reported in April 2026. Fingerprints, where needed, cost $52 at Peel Regional Police and $90 at the OPP.
Which police service is yours?
Peel Regional Police or the OPP: who polices where you live?
Peel Regional Police covers Mississauga and Brampton. Caledon, the third municipality in Peel, is policed by the Ontario Provincial Police.
| If you live in | Your police service |
|---|---|
| Mississauga, including Port Credit, Streetsville, Meadowvale, Erin Mills and Malton | Peel Regional Police |
| Brampton, including Bramalea and Springdale | Peel Regional Police |
| Caledon, including Bolton, Caledon East, Inglewood, Alton and Palgrave | Ontario Provincial Police |
| Toronto | Toronto Police Service |
| Vaughan and the rest of York Region | York Regional Police |
| Oakville, Milton and the rest of Halton Region | Halton Regional Police |
For a MyCheck criminal record check, none of this changes anything. The search is national, so you order the same way anywhere in Peel. It matters if you apply to police, and for a vulnerable sector check, which only the police service where you live can do.

Level 1 or Level 2?

Level 2 also answers whether anything is currently outstanding. In Ontario, police call the Level 2 equivalent a criminal record and judicial matters check.

A quick check before you order
Which check do you need?
Most jobs, agencies, landlords and general volunteer roles accept a criminal record check, which is what we do. Two other checks get asked for in Peel, and only police or an accredited agency can issue them.
Vulnerable sector check
Roles working with children, seniors or other vulnerable people need a vulnerable sector check. Only the police service where you live can do it: Peel Regional Police in Brampton and Mississauga, the OPP in Caledon. It may involve fingerprints.
Fingerprint-certified check
Immigration, visa and citizenship applications, record suspensions and most uses outside Canada need fingerprint-certified results. Our check also does not include convictions recorded by the Canada Border Services Agency or US Customs.
Not sure which you were asked for? Ask the person requesting it whether a name-based criminal record check is acceptable before you order.
FAQ
Peel criminal record check questions, answered
Can I get a criminal record check in Peel online?
Yes. With Peel Regional Police it is the only way: all record checks must be submitted online, and online applications take about 10 business days. MyCheck is a separate option: a criminal record check you complete entirely online, issued by an accredited police service after a search of the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records. Most MyCheck checks complete in minutes.
Is this a Peel Regional Police criminal record check?
No. MyCheck is a private Canadian provider and is not affiliated with Peel Regional Police or the OPP. Your certificate is issued by an accredited police service and names it. If your employer has named Peel Regional Police specifically, apply through Peel Regional Police.
Can I apply in person at a Peel police station?
Not at the moment. Peel Regional Police says its Records Services office at 7750 Hurontario Street is closed for in-person service during construction, and all record checks must be submitted online. Fingerprinting, when needed, continues at 11 Division, 3030 Erin Mills Parkway, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
How much does a criminal record check cost in Peel?
Peel Regional Police charges $35 for each check, and $52 for fingerprints when they are needed. Level 1 and Level 2 checks are free for volunteers with a letter from the organisation. In Caledon, the OPP charges $41. MyCheck is $39 for Level 1 and $49 for Level 2, with identity verification included in both and no access fee.
How long does a criminal record check take in Peel?
Peel Regional Police says online applications take about 10 business days, and longer if it has to contact another police service. With MyCheck, most checks complete in minutes and the rest are usually back within 4 hours. A small number need fingerprint confirmation, which is done in person and takes longer.
I live in Caledon. Where do I go?
Caledon is policed by the OPP, not Peel Regional Police, so Peel police cannot do your check. The OPP takes applications online only, at $41 per check. Or order a MyCheck criminal record check, which works the same anywhere in Peel because the search is national.
I do not have a Canadian credit history. Can I still get a check?
Yes. Peel Regional Police verifies identity electronically and needs you to have a bank account and credit history, and it emails you if you do not pass. MyCheck verifies your identity differently: you photograph a government ID and take a short live capture on your phone.
My agency needs it before my start date. How fast is it?
Most MyCheck checks complete in minutes, and the rest are usually back within 4 hours. Have your ID, your most recent Canadian address and a card ready before you start. A small number need fingerprint confirmation, and we tell you straight away if yours does.
I want to coach or volunteer with kids. Which check do I need?
Usually a vulnerable sector check, because the role involves children. The organisation decides, so ask them first. Peel Regional Police charges volunteers $35 for a vulnerable sector check, and waives fingerprinting fees with a volunteer letter. MyCheck cannot issue a vulnerable sector check. Read our guide to vulnerable sector checks.
I need a vulnerable sector check. Can you do it?
No. Only police can issue a vulnerable sector check, and only the police service where you live. That is Peel Regional Police in Brampton and Mississauga, and the OPP in Caledon. Read our guide to vulnerable sector checks.
What will my result show?
Level 1 shows criminal convictions where no record suspension has been granted. Level 2 adds outstanding charges and warrants, discharges within their disclosure windows, Youth Criminal Justice Act findings and court orders. You declare your own convictions during the process so they can be confirmed against the search.
Understand your result
Who sees my result?
You do. The certificate is delivered to you and nobody else. It is not sent to an employer unless you send it.
Can I get a refund?
No. Checks are non-refundable once submitted, which is why this page explains which check you need before you order. If you are unsure between Level 1 and Level 2, ask whoever requested it first.
