Criminal Records

[ladykelia 0]

Hello, I have a question. My fiance picked up a Criminal records from Regina Sask where he currently resides. It lists his name, date of birth, current Regina address, and says:

"This is to certify that a name search based on the above information has not disclosed a Criminal Record in the Regina Police Service's local indices or in Canada's National Repository for criminal records"

According to the checklist instructions he needs a police record from each locality that he has lived for over 6 months, however, according to the wording of this, the certificate seems to be a Canada-wide national certificate. Or am I mistaken? He has also lived in Alberta, so will he need a police ceritifcate from there as well? If so, does he need to go to Alberta to get it?

Nope, as long it is canada wide, your good to go no requirement to go to each province and get it done.

Hi,

I know from other posts that some people have got a yellow sheet of paper, or some type of "form" for their CR check. I'm from Saskatoon, and basically I got the same letter. Just on their letterhead, and it's a letter saying that both the Saskatoon, and Canada Wide came back negative. They sent me five original copies as well. I was worried that mine didn't look the same, but what it looks like doesn't matter, it's the content.

When I phoned my local RCMP, they said they didn't do the yellow piece of paper anymore. It was a white sheet and something they printed off.

I got mine through the Commissionaires. It's yellow and looks super ghetto. Their inkjet toner was all streaky and my picture on it looks horrible. I still had my winter coat and scarf on in it!

That wasn't the inkjet toner. That was greasy doughnut fingers.

That's more than enough. My record check is this sh!tty legal-size letter from the RCMP which says kind of the same thing.

Ha! When I got it, I was like, "man, a 5 year old could have done this on their computer".

The "criminal record" check you get is a CPIC check. It is a national database that all Canadain police/RCMP/commissionaires agencies use. There is no print out from the system with a person's record. So basically it is what ever form that the police agency that does your inquiry is using at that time to record it for you. That is why there is no consistency of the form. The time it takes probably depends on how busy that agency is or how high running CPIC checks for people are on their priority list. As for the fee - who knows how they come up with that, the time it takes for the Admin Assistant to do it, the price of the paper and ink????
