Hi,
On August 2008 I was arrested for theft under 5000 and consequently I got diversion, completed it on time and everything. Sent in a letter to fingerprint place to destroy prints like I was told, but never got anything back, I am assuming they went through with it. Now, here I am, 20, and looking to find a decent job as I am almost done university, I am in 3rd year right now. I was thinking at applying at a bank, as a teller. Now I am worried that since it is a bank job and whatnot, that they will be very picky with past records. This whole diversion thing is a little tricky, and has a lot of rules and such which I did not completely understand when it was explained to me. Can anyone with experience, or knowledge, please advise me as to what the bank will most likely ask for in terms of criminal checks and if in fact they will be able to see anything. My diversion counselor told me that once this is done, NO ONE can see anything and that I will be absolutely FINE when it comes to searching for jobs, and that the only people who may see it is people higher up, like security at the borders. I am in Canada, Ontario by the way, this is where all this happened also.
Thanks
