Canada Police Record/Backround Check

[JMW 0]

Heya VJ members,

Just had a quick question. My love is in Canada, we wanted to know what police records we need. Just for the Province or Canada wide or both? Does anyone know how much this is going to cost? She has a clean slate will they give her any grief when requesting her records? Does she need to provide a copy of the NOA2 as a reason to request her records. We dont have our NOA2 yet just trying to line everything up for a quick easy interview process!

I appreciate your help!

Thanks

-John

If she has no criminal records, then it'll be a painless and straightforward process (it's a Canada-wide check). I went through Commissionaires ( http://www.fingerprintingservice.com/services.html ) and it took one week to get the police check certificate. I think mine cost $35 or something like that (I went to the Scarborough, Ontario office).

In the eyes of the Consulate (at least the Montreal one), the police check expires one year from the time it's issued, so you might want to hold off on getting that done if you're 100% certain there's no criminal record involved (with a criminal record, it takes a lot longer).

And oh yes, when I applied for my police check, they'd asked for the reason I needed to get it done, and for my Montreal case number (given in packet 3, IIRC).

I am also waiting on NOA2. The police reports for the Consulates are good for at least 6 months? Is there a certain type of application or forms that have to be taken with you to get a background check done? Does the consulate mail them out or can you download them? Or, evern better, can I walk into the RCMP station and just explain what I need- and get it done?
