Hi guys,

I was wondering if the 5 sponsors of Group five sponsorships need to have a Police certificate, background check... when applying?

Yes--see link below and the relevant excerpt from the guide.

Each sponsor must submit a copy of a criminal record check (non-vulnerable sector check) issued within 6 months prior to of the application submission to ROC-O. If you have a criminal conviction, include applicable police and court documents which show the disposition of your charges.

For information on how to obtain a criminal record check, contact your local police department.
