Hey folks, newbie here. Just completed my safety course last week and iam now going over the PAL application form.... the history section asks about a youth record and conditional discharges etc. My issue is I had an assault charge as a youth (school yard fight) approximately 18 years ago and a B&E charge at 18 years old which was granted a conditional discharge 16 years ago. I dont have a criminal record... no tickets not even a speeding ticket. Young and stupid i guess. My current job required a background check. I got my background check and my record is clear. Its was so long ago i dont remember specific dates or even what the conditions where. I dont wanna fill this out wrong and prolong my waiting period or better yet have to redo the form but i have no idea how iam suppose to access the details on this stuff? Especially when my record appears to be cleared. Would the RCMP have this info still? Any help is appreciated .
