I can advise that in the Criminal Code, there's nothing that binds. I would point out for your consideration subsection 515.1(1), which states that before being named a surety, a person has to submit the declaration and in that declaration they would list past convictions.
In terms of the provincial and territorial levels, it would be an issue of practice. Some jurisdictions, for example, outline procedures by which a surety would come before the court. I would also note that in other jurisdictions they're developing protocols.
To answer your question, there is nothing binding.
