What documents do I need to upload?
Within your Camp Canada profile, a documents section outlines all the documents you need to upload, including any deadlines and supporting information.
Why won't my documents upload and/or the file size is too big.
All documents need to be uploaded in a PDF or JPEG format under 10MB in file size. Multiple pages need to be uploaded as one file by merging the pages. You can also use the same tool to compress the document.
What certificates do I need to upload?
Your certificates section can be home to any certificate you feel adds value to your application. It can be something you obtain from your school or from an activity you practice. For example, if you were a Sailor and you completed a sailing course, the certificate from that would complement your skills.
This is an optional document, so if you don’t have any certificates, or you don’t feel your certificates are relevant.
Why do I need a police check?
Every participant needs a valid police check which must follow the guidelines below:
The police check must be
-
in either English or French, if your certificate is not in English or French you will need to obtain a copy from a certified translator.
-
from your current country of residence and any country you resided in for more than 6 months since the age of 18
-
dated no more than 6 months from the date you will arrive in Canada and obtain your work permit at the Canadian border.
You do not have to:
-
Obtain a police certificate for any period of time before you were 18 years old or for time spent in Canada
As you are working with children, this is essential.
