Canadian police checks..

[TheFantastics09 19]

Hey,

I received my police check (CPIC) and I was wondering if that one is sufficient, or do I need to get the Results with fingerprints.

Thank-You

As far as I know, you only need the one with fingerprints if you actually have a criminal record.

Note this is not needed at time of Petition filing, it is needed at time of interview.

Yes, but due to the fact that it can take some time to get (or so my Lawyer claimed...), I went and got it now. No problem

And thank you for such a prompt response! >.<

I got both police checks done. I don't have a criminal record so it took only a week to get it back after I got my fingerprints taken. I did both just for my own peace of mind and I gave them both when I went for my interview.

You are good to go. As noted - of you have a crimial history then yes, you need the fingerprint one.

Ohhh, that would make sense.

Thank-You!

Do you know how long the results are valid for?

I'm not positive but I would think 6 months or a year. Sorry, I don't know for sure, hopefully someone else might?

Most are good for 1 year, I think you should be ok. If it gets close to a year then just go get another one done.

When I was doing my K-1, I got my police report very early in the process. It said on it that it was valid for 6 months, and I was a little worried because it looked like my interview at Vancouver might occur after it had expired. I emailed Vancouver and they said that regardless of what it says on the police report itself, they accept it if it's less than a year old.

I went in and it only took about 20-25 mins because the police station was quite busy that day, but the actual time at the window took me 5 mins to get the police certificate.

The one that did take me a long time was ordering my long form birth cert.. that took 3 months and almost didn't make it in time for my interview.

I had the opposite. I'm in Ontario. Took me 5 weeks to get my police check, but I ordered my long form birth certificate online and it was only a couple of days.

Got my police check in Ottawa, Ontario, walked into the RCMP headquarters downtown.

I ordered my long form birth certificate online and got it, I believe, within five business days. I got my police check done here in Ottawa at the local police station and it took about twenty minutes.
