How to get a Canadian Police Name Check Clearance while in USA

[user786 0]

We have a really crazy problem.

We just got the DS-230 application with the checklist from NVC and we are in the USA.

The application checklist gives a number of things which are REQUIRED to be mailed back into NVC with the completed DS-230.

One of those things is the police certificate (name check) from Canada.

We are in the USA. How do we get this from Canada while being in the USA ?

Don't tell me this is so stupid that we will have to take a trip and fly all the way from Florida to Canada to walk into an RCMP office just to get a Canada wide name check done ????

There must be SOME WAY that we can get this done from the USA ?????

Please help with suggestions.

Thanks
