- Candidates’ verification can be done electronically (from any computer) by answering a few knowledge-based authentication (KBA) questions.
- Developed by Canada’s major credit bureaus, eIV is used by most major financial institutions, and even by Canada Post.
- Recognized under the “Know your Customer” regulations, eIV is a suitable countermeasure against fraud and money laundering.
- Information is cross-referenced with personal details provided by the candidate, such as their date of birth and address history.
- Should they fail the process (often due to limited credit history), the candidate will be directed to Sterling Backcheck’s offramp identity verification options.
With this simple and convenient biometric solution, candidates can verify their identity anytime, anywhere, from any device.
Our advanced technology is combined with our background screening expertise to authenticate candidates remotely.
Candidates follow simple step-by-step instructions to upload a picture of themselves and their ID. Facial recognition technology then matches the candidate’s selfie to the photo on the identity document. An algorithm is used to analyze and authenticate the proof of identity.
Verified anywhere in Canada by visiting the nearest participating Canada Post location.
- Candidates can print the form or download it on their phone, and visit the nearest Canada Post outlet.

- Sterling Backcheck then conducts the Criminal Record Check and delivers results securely to your password-protected account.
