Does generals contractors (anywhere in Canada except the province of Quebec because they already go through the process) need to go through security clearance check up/criminal records check in the attempt to get their licence?
No licence is required in the city that I live in. In Toronto a licence is required and they do a background check.
It depends on the city, each one has different requirements, and that's if a license is required at all. Remember that a contractor license is a business licence, not a trade license like a plumber or an auto mechanic.
Hi
When a person or a company obtains their business licence, usually the City Government does a criminal check.
Hope this will help.
Thank you,
David
