Problems with obtaining police record from Canada

[shearoberts 0]

My Japanese fiance needs to get a police record from Canada from the time she spent there. She has run into two problems:

1. The officials at her pefectural police office refuse to sign their signature on the fingerprint document (but assured her that they didn't do it before to others and it was fine)

2. When she goes to the post office to get a money order, they tell her that she cannot send both of them at the same time. Meaning she has to send the payment and the fingerprint document SEPARATE from each other and they refuse to send them at the same time. Couldn't this cause a lot of complications and confusion?

Could I, as a US citizen, just give her a blank check to fill out and date (pre-signed by me) to send off with her fingerprint document? This is all a very frustrating process. She's already had her interview and everything went well except they told her they needed this one last document before issuing her fiance visa. Anyone who's gone through a similar situation please give some advice!

Thank you!

Hi,

Yes, it would seem that sending the fingerprints and payment separately could be a problem, why not have her send them both to you and you could then put them in the same envelope and mail them. Alternately she could include a note in each envelope explaining what she is doing and why.

As you already know, the RCMP instructions clearly state that the fingerprint card must be signed.

Another VJ member getcr1 was in Japan as well, you might find this thread helpful and you may want to send him a pm, i'm sure he can advise you:

Thank you for the reply! I did read that thread, but I will contact the topic poster soon.

I went ahead and bought an international money order here in the States and mailed it to her. We'll see how that goes. Still not sure WHY the police won't sign it, in fact they refuse to when she asked again. Very strange.

Thank you for your help
