Yes.

Absolutely. I recently was placed by a temp agency. The employer now wants to hire me and asked me to sign a paper for a background check. I had some bad check charges on my record 12 years ago. I was honest and told the employer. They asked me to fill it out anyway since it was so long ago.

It is rare for countries not to conduct criminal background checks in some form.

It is advisable to research the specific requirements of a country regarding background checks before traveling or relocating.
