Awesome, looks like it should be on its way soon! 

 

As for the criminal record - yes, we got them done last year at this place called FrontierOne (https://www.f1fingerprint.ca/background-check). I'm not sure if you're based in the GTA, but I'm sure there's a lot of places that can do this. You can find more information here. Process was super easy and took around 40 minutes for 3 people. They essentially take your fingerprints and send a request to the RCMP. Just make sure that when you get them done, they should be requested under the "Privacy Act", as per USCIS' guidelines here (click on "Police, Court, Prison Records").

 

The actual criminal records took about 2 weeks to arrive in the mail. I believe they're only valid for 6 months. So that means we'll have to request them again for our interview. 

 

Thank you! No, I am not in the GTA but I would assume that similar places exist in the West I also found this https://www.edmontonfingerprinting.ca/faq/which-kind-of-police-certificate-should-i-request-for-my-us-immigration-application/ It does explain how you need to do it

Yup, you got it! That's the one. Some places charge different prices, I think we paid around CAD $55 per person
