Changes have occurred to the Criminal Records Review Act (CRRA) checks process. The CRRA check is submitted for new approved foster caregivers, and must be renewed every five years. A new online process using an organization access code has been developed and is now the primary process. MCFD is able to provide a manual process if necessary, if you think the online process may not be an effective option for you, please reach out to your resource worker.  

Primary process – Online

•  When it is time to submit the check, a resource worker will provide you with an organization access code and a link to the new online portal (https://justice.gov.bc.ca/screening/crrpa/org-access )
•  You will enter the access code and follow the online steps to verify your identity and consent for the checks. You will not be charged for the check.
•  Identity verification can be done by using into an existing BC Services Card Login. If this is not an option for you, the system will provide information on alternative identity verification processes.

Manual process: Paper/PDF Form

  • Speak to your resource worker who will provide you with a form, help with identity verification, and submit the form on your behalf.
  • Please note, this option is likely to take longer than the online process to return a result. The delay experienced will vary.
