To take part on the Camp Canada programme we need for you to have a clean criminal background. The way we confirm this is for you to undergo criminal background check and upload your certificate to your profile. The certificate should be from your home country, as well as any other countries you have lived in for more than six consecutive months since the age of 18. If your country isn't listed below, please visit the Immigration and Citizenship of Canada website for more instructions.
