Ok I know that we want a police certificate done using CPIC. I have that. But I was reading my papers that came as part of the checklist (I copied them before mailing them back) and it says "Please obtain police certificates from the police authorities of each locality where you have resided for six months or more since attaining the age of 16."

My question is this....my current certificate lists it is a CPIC search and a local (Brantford Ontario) search. I grew up and lived in North Bay until 1998 (when I moved to Brantford), do I need to travel back to North Bay for a "local" search or does CPIC cover that? I think I know the answer but of course stress causes one to doubt themselves. :blink:

You would get exactly the same thing if you went to Brantford as you would if you went to Moose Jaw...Canada wide is Canada wide. I have over 20 addresses in Canada and have only the one report, I'd go broke collecting them all! I'm off to the RCMP to get my daughter's search done, I'll ask when I am there :)

Isn't it amazing what happens to our otherwise functioning selves during this process? I am astonished by what a blithering idiot I've become... although it may just be me :blush:

Yeppers canada wide means the whole country!! I first to thought I required one from each place I have resided for longer than 6 months since age of 16. Was calling up the police Forces and they thought I was nutz, Which I was!, lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
