CPIC Runaround

[NightsRequiem 0]

Hello all. I have a question that I was hoping someone here could answer. We're at the end of our rope

Sorry for the long background...its been quite an ordeal...

My Canadian fiance was referred to the nearest police station in the next town over to get the forms filled out for a police check. He lives in a very small town in northern Ontario and the secretary there didn't know what he was talking about. She wasn't sure she could do it, so he had left empty handed. We did some calling around and while the other police stations knew what it was he needed, none would help him as it apparently needed to be done at his local station.

He went back again a few weeks later after we did some further research and the lady wasn't there. Her sub said she couldn't help him either. He went back again a week later and she was back and stated that she could do it now but needed to see a utility bill to prove his address. He didn't have one on him at the moment so he had to leave yet again. He was able to get back in on Monday this week, with the utility bill in hand, and filled out all of the paperwork and paid the fee. She said it would arrive within a few weeks. We thought we were all set.

Unfortunately, she called him a few hours after he got home and told him that she forgot to have him fill out one last form. Ugh. Turns out this last form she needed is a form where he has to list all of his charges that he's had. Apparently, he had some charges from when he was a minor. He hasn't had a charge since he was a teenager about 10 years ago. She told him they were showing on his record because he had violated probation when he was younger. (thankfully he grew out of that )

He couldn't remember what the charges exactly were, so she said she couldn't help him and couldn't send it in. He asked if she could just tell him what they were for the form since she could see them on her computer, but that was a no go. Soo...after about five trips to the next town, he's got nothing but a receipt and they still have his fee.

Now that we know his minor charges are showing, we're also worried that he might have to get finger prints now. From what I was reading its 120 days and we've already had to push his interview in Montreal from March 26th to June 3rd because of all this

Does anyone have suggestions for who he can call to get this all sorted out? He's going to be calling around tomorrow and I was hoping against hope that someone else had perhaps been in this strange situation before. Thank you for any help you can provide!

I think he needs to find an RCMP office in a larger city and get a police check done with fingerprints.

Thank you for your reply. I just looked up the nearest detachment on the RCMP site and it looks like its a couple hours away. I'll have him call there tomorrow as well and atleast try to get the fingerprints process started.

A little worried because below the map I was looking at was the following public notice:

"Please note that in the province of Ontario, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police no longer issues police certificates or provides fingerprinting or criminal record check services to the public and private sector. "

I found a list of accredited places on their site that do fingerprinting so that will be another on the call list tomorrow

Regardless of if the charges showed he would need to get the figure prints done. It's not about if they show or not it is whether he was ever charged. For immigration purpose he always needs to mark down yes that he has been charged with something. He will also need to get court records, get multiple copies as he will need them for every stage they will not return them.

Ah the RCMP do them here, but commissionaires work as well. I hope you guys can find a place.
