Police check

[MissStacey 1]

No, it doesn't have to be from the RCMP, but I do believe it has to be a Police Certificate.

I know the RCMP's Criminal Record check is not the same as the Police Certificate. The Police Certificate from the RCMP used to be a small yellow sheet of paper, now it is a full white sheet of paper that they print out.

Don't worry ...you're good to go ...

I had the same one when I went to the interview ... she questioned its validity at my interview until I showed her where on the paper it said that it was Canada wide.

Were you replying to my comment or Udella & Wiz?

(I'll have to remember that - to point out that it's Canada wide, in case they question it!) Mine is the full white sheet of paper and it has the seal on it. I just got it from the main police station in my city downtown.

Two more weeks for me!! I can't wait but I'm a bit nervous too!

Just as an FYI to anyone who may be getting their check done by the Toronto police I went yesterday and they say the standard wait is 7-10 business days and they mail the letter to you. This was the last thing I needed before my interview in two weeks and I had been procrastinating so freaked a bit when I heard this so...if you have a valid reason, (like an interview letter from U.S. immigration!) they can have the letter done in 48 hours and you can pick it up. Lesson learned? Don't wait until two weeks before your interview to get paperwork AND always ask for expedited service!

You should have gone to Peel Region or Durham Region, they both do it while you wait and Durham is open 24/7. I believe Peel Regional Police are cheaper.

Thanks folks....I ended up freaking and calling the local RCMP office and had a nice chat...she said they basically do the same check as the regional police do - but get this...for free (oh well $30 well paid I suppose)

Because I'm ####### (and it's free) - I'm going to pickup the RCMP version and bring both (maybe one will be prettier, I dunno

I'm surprised my HTB can stand me anymore...I'm going to be terrible for at least 7 more days

Wow. I just might do the same thing if I can get it free from the RCMP here. Wouldn't hurt. And it would be more up to date anyway (mine is from April!)

Which RCMP office did you contact, since I wouldn't mind getting a more current police check (on RCMP stationary) for free?

The RCMP detachment here, has a sign posted by the front desk. Police certificates for visa applicants. It does say police certificate on your Packet 3 list. Takes about 5 minutes and $20 or $25. Make sure that they put all your names, including maiden name if you have been married.
