How Do I Become A Security Guard in Manitoba?

In Manitoba, all Security Guards must be licensed under the Private Investigators and Security Guards Act .  Under this Act, all Security Guards are required to complete the 40 hour mandatory Manitoba Security Guard Training Program.  

 

To get your Manitoba Security Guard License and start working, follow the steps below:

 

1.   Register for and complete training with an approved training provider TrainMyGuard.com (Sting Executive Group International) is an approved training provider.  The Manitoba Security Guard Training Program (MSGTP) course is available online, is broken down into 10 units and requires trainees to pass the government exam.  Click here for more information about the MSGTP program.

2.   Write and pass your Security Guard licensing exam.  After completing the 40 hours of training you are eligible to write the licensing exam up to 3 times at a cost of $25 per exam.  The first $25 fee is included in your course fee.  If after 3 attempts you are not successful, you are required to take the training program again as required by Manitoba Justice. 

Due to COVID-19, virtual exams are scheduled through eProctor Canada.  There is an additional exam fee is $30 plus tax.  Upon completion of the course, individuals must request to be added to the Virtual exam list.  The student will then recieve an email with instructions. The student is responsible to create an eProctor account, pay the fees and schedule an exam date.  If you NO SHOW or do not pass with 75% or above, you will have to pay an additional $30 fee with eProctor Canada.

3.   Complete the application for security license application

4.   Obtain your CHILD ABUSE REGISTRY CHECK (CARC) by going to 777 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3G 0N3.  The fee is $15.00 and is payable when you apply.  As it may take between 2 and 3 weeks for your CARC to be processed, it is strongly advised that you apply for this at your earliest opportunity.

5.   Apply for your CRIMINAL RECORDS CHECK (CRC) by going to the Winnipeg Police Headquarters at 245 Smith St, Winnipeg, MB R3C 1K1 or the Commissionaires at 290 Burnell St, Winnipeg, MB R3G 2A7. If you live in a rural area your local RCMP detachment can process your CRC. Fees starts at $30.00 depending on where you apply and if you require fingerprinting.  You do not need a vulnerable sector search completed to work as as security guard.  Wait times vary between 2 business days and 5 weeks for a regular CRC, and up to 6 months for finger printing depending on the agency.

6.   Take your completed application form with a copy of your CARC, CRC, digital photo as per MB Justice requirements, $30 fee and certificate provided by your trainer to:

7.     Processing of your application may take as long as 2-3 weeks, so the earlier you apply the better.  Ensure your application is complete as incomplete applications will be returned which may result in a delay of your license being issued.  No security guards in Manitoba are eligible to start work unless they are in possession of a current and up to date Security Guard License.
