Hey guys, now that the noa2 is here, whats the next step? I know I need to get the background check and stuff so do I get my fingerprints now or wait until I get the packet from the consulate and then get it? I'm confused LOL. I checked out the flow chart but I'm still confused :lol: too much info for my brain to process i think. Can someone simplify it for me? Thanks guys/gals.

You do not require fingerprinting at this stage. That comes later at the AOS stage after you are married.

You will need to get a police check done for this stage of the process.

Ok, but I thought I had to have fingerprints on the form to send away to the canadian police in order to GET the background check? At least that's what I understood??

Hi Cali,

From what I was told you only have to get fingerprinted IF you have a criminal record. If not, then it's just a case of getting a Canada wide RCMP check. Incidentally, I had to get fingerprinted today in Toronto because I need a police record from another country and where I got my fingerprinting done, also did the RCMP check for me. It cost $30 and I can pick it up in 4 - 5 days.

The police records are supposed to be good for 12 months - that's why I'm doing them now - in case anybody is wondering.
