police certificates

[BermyCat 1]

Has anyone had to get a Canadian police certificate while living in another country? Did you have to fly to Canada to get one?

We just got an email saying our petition was approved yesterday. If I've got to head to Canada I need to start making arrangements.

Thanks,

Catherine

You're going to have to fly to Ottawa and get the RCMP to do it. Apparantly visiting one of their provicinial offices isn't good enough. If you go through your local consulate/embassy or a provincial office it may take months to process. Good luck!

Applicants who require Canadian police certificates must provide the following before transitional membership will be granted:

Either a Canadian police certificate (obtained without a fingerprint check) that shows that the person has no record in Canada or an affidavit from the person detailing the nature and circumstances of the person's Canadian criminal history (including all arrests, charges and convictions). Full Canadian police certificates issued based on fingerprints will be required from all such applicants by the deadline required in relation to all other possible police certificates, with the possible exception of those applicants who are disqualified based on their criminal

histories before the final deadline for such certificates.

Applicants in Canada - provide proof of identity (eg, birth certificate, passport), an explanatory letter from the CSIC and your return address to your nearest department of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Also, you can obtain the assistance of a private firm International Fingerprinting Services Canada Ltd. For further information you may visit http://www.ifs.ca.

Applicants outside Canada - forward a set of fingerprints certified by the local police authorities and a return address to:

The Commissioner

RCMP

Attention: Identification Services - Civil Section

P O Box 8885

Ottawa

Ontario

A fee is payable.

For the record, Bermycat's my fiancee and I was just giving her a hard time. Don't listen to what I had to say.
