So my girlfriend just told me that she just successfully applied for a medical marijuana card but she then said her doctor then asked her for a couple more documents, one of which was a criminal record check i think?
anyway she cant find the paper and rather than wait till she goes to her doctor again i was wondering if anyone in ontario or in general canada would know what papers her doctor was talking about?

this is what I gave my doctor, he never asked but I thought it might help.

A criminal record check should only be required in the event that your girlfriend wanted to have a designated grower. HC cannot ask for criminal checks for patients themselves, as your criminal history has no impact (nor should it) on whether or not you require medicine. If you apply to have a designated grower, I believe that they need to have a background check before they are approved.

If your doctor has reservations about signing the necessary HC forms, you may also want to bring in this form : http://www.calgarycmmc.com/release form for medical_practitioners.pdf

Also print and take in the appropriate forms based on what you are applying to do from this page : http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/marihuana/how-comment/applicant-demandeur/index-eng.php
