Middle name not on police certificate - will this be a problem?

[Tracy123 2]

Hi all,

Applied for a CR-1 visa and reached the case complete stage on September 1st. Interview yet to be scheduled. I got my police certificate in Toronto and have since moved to Montreal. While going through the embassy reviews I saw that one user who interviewed in Vancouver was asked to re-submit their police certificate to include their middle name. Is this a real thing? My middle name only appears on my birth certificate - it's not on my driver's license, health card, or passport and I haven't used it at all during the process.

I ask because I will be visiting my husband in two days and so have a limited amount of time in which I can obtain this police certificate. Also it's unclear how to obtain it in Montreal - is it just the certificate of good conduct?

I am the one who needed to get a new certificate! (actually I went to my local RCMP where it was done and they just reprinted it with my middle name added, which saved me a week!) They told me when I was at my interview that although the instructions don't specifically say it, they do require ALL names on the police check. Since you haven't used it on anything else, you might be ok, but if you have the opportunity to get a new one, I would take it, just to be safe and potentially save yourself time and frustration!

Ended up cancelling my flight since I now have an interview date + encountered another issue to take care of so I'll suck it up and get another police report. Thanks for leaving your review!
