Well, that's good.

 

I'm taking heart in SKB2017's post regarding clarification from their Lawyer. If this change did apply to people with qualified documents, and already

scheduled interview dates, surely the Embassy would of contacted us to inform us of this change. I think my Lawyer may have over reacted, but none the less, i did start the process just incase.

I just rebooked my interview to Sep 26 just in case of delays on obtaining this new police certificate.

I had my interview this morning.   All went smoothly.   I was not asked to provide the new fingerprint standard. The old one was fine. Since they didn't require the new guidlines,

Update: I went to the Commissionaires at 8:30 this morning, and they have resumed processing fingerprint checks under the Privacy Act. The two men who helped me were so kind, and absolutely sympathize

The way I look at it, is yes, this SUCKS. like a lot. But, as long as I still keep getting asked for documents, as long as I keep getting "yes but" and never a Nope/rejected... then I'm still in this

Hi,

 

The background check request was generated by a computer program. There was a pull down menu for reason for request. This is where he selected privacy act. By selecting privacy act the program generated another pull down menu of which there were three choices, one was non-certified criminial . Under other information he typed in include entire RCMP reprository. He then took my fingerprints and photo, I was in and out in ten mins.

No worries. If he went to the Commissionaire's office at the Maritime center I understand. That is where I had my original background check done....the staff were very dim.

Thank you for posting this. I have no idea this changed, so I only have the regular Toronto Police Service certificate searched with name and birthdate. Going to Commissionaires first thing tomorrow but my interview is on Sep 19th. Please update us on your status when you can.

So your fingerprint check doesn’t comply with travel.state.gov?

So question - I'm currently CC and waiting for my interview date. Should I get that fingerprint search and bring it with me to Montreal just to be safe? Or would my previous search that was accepted into CC be sufficient?

 

Thanks!
