Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Before Orientation

This section is in addition to the more detailed information provided to new hires in the Pre-Employment Guide sent by your recruiter.

Do I need to submit a Parking Permit Application Form?  Paid parking is in place for staff at Waypoint. If you will be driving and parking at Waypoint, you will need to provide your vehicle information.
If you don’t drive and will not require a parking pass, please fill out and return the opt-out section of form to your Human Resources Assistant.


Where do I Park for Orientation?
Please see the Waypoint Foundations section for information about parking on your first day of orientation.

Do I need to provide a Criminal Record Check?
It is a condition of employment that a new hire provide an original and satisfactory police record check prior to being scheduled to work. The Hospital will pay for this pre-employment expense if you obtain your police record check through myBackCheck. A registration link will be sent to you by your Human Resources Assistant. Please follow the instructions to complete your check. 

If you already have an original criminal record check, it may be provided as an alternative to myBackCheck, but it must be recent and within three months of your start date.

Please see the Pre-employment Guide for additional information or reach out to your assigned Human Resources (HR) Assistant.

Do I have to provide my Social Insurance Number (SIN)?
It is a requirement of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that Social Insurance Numbers (SIN) be confirmed by employers for the purposes of T4 slips and eligibility to work in Canada. This means we will need to see your SIN card. 

If you are unable to provide us with your card, please go to Service Canada and get a SIN Confirmation Letter. You will need to bring primary and secondary identification with you to Service Canada.

Please click on the following link to learn more about the identification documents Service Canada will accept.

Please complete the Employee Health Review form found in the Pre-Employment Guide provided by your recruiter. The form and documents can be emailed to the Occupational Health Nurse at [email protected]. 

Questions about your requirements can also be emailed to the same email address. Please note: TB testing is available at Waypoint.
