Packet 3 questions

[lilacvioletiris 11]

Did you get the police check/certificate same day/while you waited?

My fiance' in Kingston, ON, got his police certificate while he waited and it was even before we got our NOA2 so I think each RCMP is different.

Just looking at it now...it says on the page:

"A Police Criminal Records Search may provide the following information obtained from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC)

-Outstanding entries

-Records of criminal convictions, as the records exist onthe date of search

-Findings of Guilt where a pardon has not been granted"

Then he checked the box that says and placed the police seal on it:

"This is to confirm that no criminal convictions nor outstanding charges have been found in the Canadian National Repository of Criminal Records as a result of a search based on the above name and date of birth. The search has not been confirmed by fingerprints."

Also he must have taken a cursory glance at my NOA 2 as on the form it says:

Reason for Request: US Immigration Visa Application, and it says that the Officer Verified it (placed his signature there)

Is this enough....?

This is what they printed on mine from my local police station:

This is to certify that a search of the criminal records of the " " police service, and the national repository for criminal records in Canada (Search HAS NOT been confirmed by fingerprints). Based on the above name and date of birth, discloses the following:

No criminal record identified

Not enhanced screening

Records check requested for:

Immigration

Then has a signature and the police seal on it.

I think every police station writes different things on the certificate, as long as it's a Canada wide search and has a police seal on it, it should be enough. They did not ask or want any of our case numbers! I don't remember reading that in the P3 packet they gave us either (about having our case number on it), so it should be fine..

I got mine done in windsor ON. I got it in ten mins and paid 25 dollars for it. I guess each police station is different or maybe its because I mentioned it was for immigration, so she needed to see a case number??? not sure

10 mins? lol i had mine in windsor too, but i was called the next day to get it. Such a simple letter it was....wait..you ONLY paid 25?? i just got mine in march and it was 40...what the....the website even says it's is 40...

[mandaNchris 3]

lol sorry??? Yeah all i had to pay was 25 dollars. She took my ID and my packet 3 checklist with my case number on it and then she gave them back to me and the police check. took about 10 mins. I went to the RCMP office on Jefferson and Riverside. I was expecting it to be more but I was very pleased when she said it was only 25 dollars.

Just wanted to share my experience with the police check...went yesterday to 40 College St. Division in TO. Dropped off the form (I'd already filled out - you can get it online at http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/recordsmanagement/clearance.php) paid my $26.50 and was advised it would be mailed out in 7-10 days. I'm not in a rush - waiting for my P3 to be logged/interview date assigned - so that was fine with me, didn't need express service.

Mine came in exactly 7, from same location.
