Identity Cross-Check
An Identity Cross-Check is a check that cross-references data provided by Canadian credit bureaus (e.g., name, address, employment, and alias information) to verify your applicant’s identity. It identifies inconsistencies using the data provided from the applicant consent form.
Also, it helps reveal more criminal records because it inserts aliases into a criminal record check that you wouldn’t have found otherwise.
An Identity Cross-Check verifies the identity of your Canadian applicant.
