Hey All,

Just noticed on the police report instructions that you have to have on from your 'locality' in Canada...does that mean that the police report i recieved from Winnipeg (which is a national report) will not be accepted? I have been in Ontario for a long time but I was visiting my husband in the States when I sent for my police report...currently I'm visiting family in Newfoundland and I sure hope I dont have to FLY TO TORONTO to get a police report....please tell me that the one I have from Winnipeg will work...it has my ontario address on it and everything!!!!

PLEASE HELP!!!! GOTTA SEND MY 230 BACK!!!!!

What do you mean by a long time in Ontario? If you have a report from Winnipeg and it is less than a year old at the time of visa interview, and is a national one "Applicants may obtain a certificate of no conviction issued by any Canadian police service so long as it notes that Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) or the national criminal records repository was searched using the applicant’s name and date of birth" You should be able to use it.

Police Records

Inside Canada: Applicants who are physically present in Canada should contact their local police service or Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) office regarding criminal record check procedures. Applicants may obtain a certificate of no conviction issued by any Canadian police service so long as it notes that Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) or the national criminal records repository was searched using the applicant’s name and date of birth. Applicants should ensure that the search includes all names that they have previously used, including maiden names, prior married names, or names used before Canadian naturalization. (Note: Because records checks based on name and date of birth only are sometimes less thorough than those based on fingerprints, U.S. diplomatic offices reserve the right to request that certain applicants obtain fingerprint-based searches from the RCMP.)

The police report is Canada-wide so you're good to go. As long as it's not more than a year old, of course.

I was confused like you and I checked the US embassy website for France and they ask for a general one, not localy.

I called my local police station and they said the only police record that exists is the national one that is issued by the Department of Justice here.
