Description of the Requirement:
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has a requirement for two senior level Application Architects and one senior level Tester to support the Bio4Cit project.
The Bio4Cit project is to implement a solution to achieve a biometrically based end-to-end identity management approach for Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) citizenship program. It will support IRCC modernization initiative and allow the citizenship program to definitively stop its name-based criminality checks and transition to fingerprint-based screening. The Bio4Cit project will also support the RCMP modernization efforts by decommissioning the outdated Named Based Search Internal (NBSI) system, and introducing efficiencies and effectiveness by automating the paper-based citizenship and record suspension notification workflows.
Resources are required to design, develop, test and implement Real time Identification (RTID) system that integrates with National Police Services (NPS) National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Server (NNS), Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), and Criminal Justice Information Management (CJIM).
