Requirements for Toronto Police Checks<\/h1>\n
IMPORTANT! This process is only applicable for TORONTO residents (i.e. your postal code starts with \"M\"). If you have been directed here, and your postal code does NOT start with \"M\", please contact the program office.<\/h6>\n
\n
Engineers of Tomorrow will reimburse you for the FIRST police check. If you continue with the program for multiple years and require additional police checks, you are expected to cover that expense yourself.<\/h6>\n
Reimbursement requests<\/a> must be submitted before December 31st.<\/h6>\n
IMPORTANT<\/strong>: Once you receive your VSS, you need to let us know so that we can send a copy to TDSB for their records. <\/h6>\n
This is a requirement in our partnership agreement with TDSB and you will not be allowed to visit your class (in person or virutally) if they do not have a copy of your VSS.<\/h6>\n
