Anyone been busted pre-C36? Did this have a negative effect on any employment security or background checks.

Would an employer not hire you if found in a bawdy house, pre-C36?
 
I reckon it won't look very good on your resume
 
Depends what you mean by "busted." If you have been convicted of anything then it will show up on a police criminal record check, which is what employers use. It won't show up if you've received a pardon so long as you have requested in writing that your fingerprints be expunged from the system (run by the OPP).

If you were arrested and/or charged but never convicted, then it won't show up.

What your employer does with the info is up to them. If they use it to screen out candidates to get their applicant list down, you're probably out. If they have a higher tolerance (or lower # of applicants) then they may view it as a minor conviction, something like DUI, and hire you anyways.

It is illegal for an employer to ask you if you have ever been charged with a criminal offense. They can only ask if you have been convicted.

Border guards can ask you whatever they want.

Didn't know that. I can think of three companies I have applied for in the last 10 years that have specifically asked the "charged" question.

NO
They can NOT ask if you have been convicted
That is ALSO illegal

They can ONLY ask:
"Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence for which a pardon has not been granted?"

Prohibited questions are those relating to whether an applicant has ever:
been convicted of any offence (this may elicit information on pardoned offences)
spent time in jail
been convicted under a provincial statute (for example, the Highway Traffic Act)
been convicted of an offence for which a pardon has been granted.

Depends on the job, brass rail dj or bouncer might not care. How would they know if the job hiring doesn't require a CR check?
