No - the standard criminal check would suffice. However, the process is quite long and involves multiple authentications/attestations so keep that in mind when you are planning your move. The details are as follows:
Get the RCMP police clearance and not the local police clearance (this is very important) - it involves fingerprinting etc and is usually done at the local police station. Once you receive the clearance form, send it to the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ottawa for authentication - it is quicker if you are able to go there but they do it through mail as well (around 20 days). The authenticated police certificate has to be taken to the Canadian Embassy in West Bay (Doha) for attestation. This certificate, authenticated and attested, is then given to the Qatar authorities for final authentication - once done, it is ready for submission.
This could take over a month so keep that in mind when you are planning your move to Doha. Good Luck!
