Ok- I just read that Montreal Consulat asks for the RCMP criminal certificate, but I've also read that the local police (Im in Ottawa) would do. Can someone tell me which one I am gonna need???? It's obviously much easier to go to the local police station rather than RCMP.

Thanks

The forms that you will get from Montreal specifically request an RCMP Police Certificate... However, in the past a police certificate from the local Police Service has sufficed as long as they specifically state that it was based on a Canada Wide Search.

Me.. I'd take the extra time to go to the RCMP... It's really not that big a burden...

Hi, Tanya!

Some people have gotten the RCMP certificate and some have gone to the local police to get their certificate. However, if they say that you'll need the RCMP certificate, then maybe you should just get that one to be on the safe side... just my opinion.

I went to the RCMP in Montreal, and although I waited for almost an hour for my number to be called, the name check took only 5 minutes and $ 25.00. If you don't have any criminal records, you don't need to be fingerprinted. You'll only need a "Canada-wide name (and date of birth) search".

I don't have any idea how it is with the RCMP in Ottawa, though... like how long the wait is and so on.

When I was inquiring in Vancouver for the RCMP check, my local police (municipal) could provide the RCMP check...for $70. The RCMP office in Vancouver was $20. I drove into Vancouver. ;)

edit: It took me more time to find parking for the Vancouver office than it did to get the name check done...10 minutes in the office, tops.

Ok I just phone my local police station and they informed me that their police records check system is the same one that the RCMP uses and the fee is $25.00 so I think I'm safe with that. She confirmed that it is indeed a "nation wide check". Thanks all!
