RCMP security check is just a 'police check' but specifically a CPIC search. All you have to do is go to your local police station that performs police checks and tell them that you want it for Immigration purposes. RCMP have a security system called CPIC and it's a criminal database that encompasses all of Canada and not just the province. It takes about 4 weeks to get, so if you need it soon, I would suggest going soon.

Most often asked question on here, right up with "can i visit the usa" lol

Like the above poster stated, has to be done canada wide (CPIK) and down with all the names you have used (if u have changed ur name) Can be done by the RCMP or ur local police force. Not all do them, so best to call ahead! Some place do them right there for ya, some take a day, some a week or longer. Some do it for free, some charge $$$. HAd mine done by the RCMP in Kingston NS and looked like a 3 yr old drew it up!

I agree some take more time and you should call ahead to check. I had mine done in Kitchener, ON and walked out with it.

I had mine done in Steinbach, MB, and was able to walk right out with it. Took 20 minutes, tops. Only complication was that they wouldn't take cash, CC or interac, and I didn't have a chequebook handy so I had to go buy a money order at the post office.

I just showed them my Packet 3 checklist and they knew exactly what it was talking about and what I needed.

this has nothing to do with the topic but I saw Steinbach and I had to respond... I was born there and lived in the Steinbach area for about 15 years.. I still have a boatload of relatives that live there, aunts, uncles, cousins etc......

still off topic - I visited a friend who was working in the Museum in Steinbach back in 1979. I took a photo of the museum's 'main street' and entered it into a National Film Board of Canada photography competition and won (3 of my photos did, actually). The photo was included in a travelling exhibit called 'Sites of History' that toured Canada for 5 years. Yay Steinbach!
