As an airline in Canada, all staff at Air Canada must adhere to Transport Canada background check requirements to ensure the safety and security of the passengers. Knowing that this is a vital step towards becoming employed, your interviewer needs to ensure that you are willing and ready to be subjected to the criminal background check requirements.

"I can complete a full criminal background check as well as any drug testing or other background checks that Air Canada requires. I'm proud of my clean record because it allows me the opportunity at a great career like this."

Your answer can be short and to the point. First, you don't want to act surprised by the fact that you will be subjected to a full background check if you are the top candidate that gets offered the job. Instead, express that you are aware of this fact and are ready to adhere to all background check requirements to join Air Canada. If you have any blemishes on your record, now is the time to disclose them because they will surely come up in the background check once hired.

"Yes, I'm willing to take any required background checks to join Air Canada. I want you to know that I have two speeding violations on my record from a few years ago, but I paid my violations quickly."
