I can speak for Canadians;
If you have ever received a criminal record it is with you for life. A company that does a background check will see this record, even if it happened 50 years ago.
The only way to remove a criminal record is by receiving a pardon.

∙ 13y agoOnce you have committed a crime, it shows up on a criminal record for the rest of your life. The employer doesn't 'go back' they simply look at the record.
Not true. It depends on the state. Some state laws go back into your criminal background check 10 years, others only five. There are different laws according to the state that says how far back you have to disclose your criminal record. I.E. If back in '81 you committed a grand theft auto, most states don't require you to disclose it. You should look it up in the state statutes. Good luck.

∙ 6y agoThere are many different levels of criminal searches. The general answer is 7-10 years for the most part. However, if a manual onsite search is conducted you can go as far into the past as you wish though cost is often a factor.

∙ 12y agosome only search 3 years back but most these days search 5 or even 7 years, but the truth of the mater is they can search back just as far as they want. A felony will remain on your record for life. It just depends on how much time or money the employer is willing to invest for such a search
