Hey everyone!

Just wondering if anyone knew where I can go to get my police check in Toronto, and what the cost and wait time would be?

Thanks in advance

POLICE RECORDS

Inside Canada: Applicants who are physically present in Canada should contact their local police service or Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) office regarding criminal record check procedures. Applicants may obtain a certificate of no conviction issued by any Canadian police service so long as it notes that Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) or the national criminal records repository was searched using the applicant’s name and date of birth. Applicants should ensure that the search includes all names that they have previously used, including maiden names, prior married names, or names used before Canadian naturalization. (Note: Because records checks based on name and date of birth only are sometimes less thorough than those based on fingerprints, U.S. diplomatic offices reserve the right to request that certain applicants obtain fingerprint-based searches from the RCMP.)

Applicants who have been convicted of a crime in Canada must contact their local RCMP office to obtain a “Certified Criminal Record Check,” which lists an applicant’s criminal history, indicating the section of the Canadian Criminal Code under which the applicant was charged, the disposition of the case, and the penalty imposed, if any. Obtaining a Certified Criminal Records Check requires submission of a fingerprint chart; the RCMP could take between two and twelve months to process a request for a Certified Criminal Record Check. (Note: If a namecheck by a police agency reveals a conviction record, that agency may be unwilling to issue a certificate and may refer the applicant to the RCMP for a Certified Criminal Record Check.)

Canadian pardons have no effect under U.S. law. Applicants who have been convicted of a crime in Canada that was subsequently pardoned must contact an RCMP office to obtain both a Certified Criminal Record Check and copies of their pardoned criminal record.

If your in toronto check out the Commissionaires. Takes a few days. If you have never had a criminal record, you DO NOT require fingerprinting, just the CANADA WIDE background check. belive in the GTA, the commissionaires are ur only bet. Her is one of MANY links on VJ about police cert. This is pretty much a weekly question,lol http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=39425

The VJ search feature is not the greatest, but it works, just have to try various word combinations. Best of luck

Commissionaires at Church & Queen Sts.

I believe it was $35 + tax. You must apply in person and it takes a few business days for it to be returned back to them for you to pick. Do not risk having it mailed to you once they get it in, I tried that and I never got it, I had to repay & reapply.

They're also really close to Dr. Seidens office for the medical, 4 or 5 blocks apart. When I went for the medical I went to the Commissionaires afterwards. When I picked up the medical results a few days later I also picked up the police certificate.

I chose to face Scarborough than to drive downtown. Here is where I went - you don't have to get fingerprints unless you have a criminal background and the check took 2 or 3 days. It's good for a year if you are going through Montreal. Be sure to ask for a CANADA-WIDE check.
