Just so I don't spend $50 bucks on fingerprinting....it could be spent on shoes!! Criminal check is a mandatory thing I get it, no problem but when I got the packet 3 it tells you to go to a website (RCMP) and then proceeds to tell you if you live in Ontario etc etc etc need 2 sets of fingerprints??? I went to the station, have a appt for tomorrow and need some advice. From what I read I will have one set done and sent off to the RCMP for precautionary reasons, I don't want to have to wait any more after the interview.....help me out. I appreciate it. Any advice????? LOL, p.s. - I sent off my packet 3 today YAY! :yes:

If you have no criminal record, a name based police certificzte is all that is required. It can be obtained from your local RCMP detachment or in the GTA from the Commissionaires. In addition, it can be obtained from your local police cservice as long as it states that it was based on a Canada Wide Search...

Don't waste your money and go buy some new shoes! lol... You only need fingerprinting if you have a criminal record. Just go to the commissionaire's office or local police station and get your police record check, it'll prob cost about $25.

Ditto what grand Pubba Zyggy said!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
