I'm sure it's been asked before, but after searching for a while, I haven't found anything completely relevant.

Besides flying up there and getting the name-based check done again, is there any way to get the criminal record check done outside of Canada? I figure I can get the fingerprint one done if absolutely necessary, but I'd rather not wait forever for the results.

We're doing consular processing for the I-130, and I'm in the US on my K3.

Thanks!

I had one mailed to me from the Winnipeg Police. i didnt use it--ended up going to ta local RCMP detachment.

The Winnipeg police Force states right on the cert that they use the Canadian National system, but when filling out the application, ensure that they do. As well for reason requird I stated for USA Visa and Immigration, and it was on the form. Hope it helps!!

And info from the RCMP:

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Any idea if you can get the certificate by mail from the Winnipeg Police if you've never lived anywhere near Winnipeg? :whistle: I wonder if they'd even question it...

I'll see if the Kingston Police Department website has any information on it, and if I can file for a record check without actually being there in person. If not, I guess I'll either go visit the family and stop by the RCMP office while I'm there, or consider mailing the fingerprints to the RCMP office (which is absolutely a last resort considering the horrible turnaround times when I was doing the K3). Thanks again.

I would think they wouldnt care if you had been a resident or not. A phone call would answer that. Your paying for the service, so its $$ in the bank for them.
