Convicted sexual assault offenders are registered in the National Sex Offenders Registry. This is an act implemented to track and monitor individuals convicted of sexual offences in Canada, and to help the police investigate and prevent sexual-related crimes. For every convicted sexual assault offender, registration in the Sex Offenders Registry is mandatory. The period that one remains in the registry varies from 10 years to life, depending on the type of sexual assault. Individuals registered in the Sex Offender Registry are required to provide the following information 15 days after their release and once a year thereafter: Your current address Place of employment Any volunteer work you’re involved in Any association with schools License plate and vehicle registration details Supplemental reporting is required when there are any sudden changes in your life.
