I recently received a one-year job offer in the USA based on my work experience, but I'm feeling anxious about the background check process. I attended a Canadian university 20 years ago but didn't graduate. On my resume, I mentioned the university, the degree I pursued, and the dates, but I never explicitly stated that I graduated. Now, I'm worried that the background check provider, USAfact, might flag this as a discrepancy. I filled out their form, but it only allowed me to input information for US schools, which makes me think they might not even have the capability to check Canadian institutions. A representative from Gemini mentioned that if they can't find my details in their databases, a human reviewer will step in and likely contact the registrar of my Canadian university for verification. Since I've signed the release forms, they could pull my transcripts, which would show that I attended but did not graduate. I'm just hoping that since the job description didn't require a bachelor's degree and focused on industry experience, this won't become an issue. Has anyone else navigated a similar situation with background checks?
