They must not have been convicted of a criminal offence for which a pardon has not been granted. A proof of pardon must be provided, if that is the case. Applicants must also provide proof that the RCMP has sealed their records, if a conditional or absolute discharge was obtained.
A security check will be conducted.
The pay rate for crossing guards is $10.36/hour with a 12 per cent travelling allowance and 4 per cent vacation pay.
