What is the process for AWS background check for Canada? Is it just a criminal record? If employment verification is needed, I am just going to ask companies that I worked with verification of employment letter in advance. This is for the new grad. #amazon

I heard that criminal check is only for US. But I can be wrong. Is this true for Canada?
For Canada, it is not just a criminal record check. They will check everything: criminal record, employment, and education verification.
For an employment, do I need verification of employment letter or do I just provide a HR number or my manager contact?
I have not started my BG check process yet, so I can't provide a definitive answer just yet sorry. Maybe others can chime in. But based off my research on most BG check processes, my understanding is that they will reach out themselves to the company you have listed on the BG check form, and will attempt to speak to someone in HR (or someone with access to employee records). If they are still unable to verify your employment, they will reach out to you for additional information (ie. offer letters, tax slips, pay stubs, etc).
What does the background check for Canada include?
Is it just criminal background check for Amazon in US and Canada?
Just criminal check
Even for Canada?
Yes. It’s basically a declaration on whether you’ve ever committed a felony and you need to provide a list of all addresses you’ve lived at for the last 7 years.
