Hi just need some assistance. My wife lives in Toronto, we are going to get our I-130 approved pretty soon, and we are starting to gather all the NVC documents. I was curious how does she go about getting the PCC in Toronto. We call some police stations and the woman were rude who answered the phone . We didn't really get a clear definitive answer to the question. So some help would be greatly appreciated for the process in Ontario.

what you need is called a Canada wide name check..

I am not sure about how to go about getting on in your area but I just went to the police station in my town in BC and asked for a Canada wide name check...

Go to the local Police or the Ontario Provincial Police station.

Ask for the Canada National Repository name check.

IF you DO NOT HAVE A RECORD:

You do NOT need an RCMP check.

You do NOT need fingerprints.

You do NOT need the sex offenders.

Though getting any of this never hurts your case =)

IF you --DO-- have a record then you will need that,

as well as any papers relating to your case saying you did your time/court stuff/whatever the case my be.

All police certificates are accepted for ONE YEAR regardless of what they say they are 'valid' for.

Don't forget to take the original and a copy with you to your interview.

Good luck =)

Depends on where you are. In Ottawa it said it can take months. Which is crazy because it is just a quick check. I got mine same day because I have a family member on the force. I have been told its quicker with the RCMP, but either way I would go ahead and get it now. It's only $15.

See profile for our K-1 Visa/AOS story from 2010-2011Apparently we love USCIS/NVC so much we left and are doing it again! This time giving IR-1 a whirl. Rock on immigrators.

07/09/2014 sent in IR-1 packet to Chicago Lockbox

07/16/2014 NOA1

07/17/2014 check cashed by USCIS

10/01/2014 found out we are expecting baby #2 June 2015!

12/15/2014 NOA2

12/30/2014 Case received by NVC

03/23/2015 Received Case and Inv # from NVC after many calls and bogus excuses.

03/24/2015 AOS payment accepted by NVC

04/09/2015 IV payment finally accepted by NVC after the set the wrong fee and took weeks to correct it.

*many more delays thanks to the agency processing my fingers prints to the RCMP and the post office losing our mail*

05/20/2015 Packet sent to NVC via UPS, eta May 28.

06/16/2015 Baby #2 due - homebirth in Scottsdale, AZ

I had mine done in Ottawa (at the Kanata OPP office) and had it in 15 minutes. I think it cost me $30.
