Quick dumb question

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

I've lived in the same city since birth. Never had a criminal record at all.

Do I have to go to the RCMP or can I just go to my local Brantford police station.

At the bottom of this page there is information on getting a police certificate:

Here

Is this what I need or do I have to go to the RCMP?

Thanks dudes lol

That is what you need, but usually all the have to do is run your name through the main computer system...CPIC is what it's called. No fingerprints as far as I know.

Speaking only from personal experience.

You rock!!

Thanks hon!!!

I thought this was all I needed. I remember reading awhile ago about only needing the fingerprinted RCMP version if you have a criminal past.

For anybody who has lived in several different places since birth, did you go to the RCMP for the police check instead of the local police? Would anyone who got theirs done in Edmonton share with me where? Thanks SO much!

I'm nowhere near this step, but I know my SO has no criminal past so we shouldn't worry once that time comes along. I don't have to provide any police info do I? Its only concerning her since she's trying to enter the country correct? Again, I haven't even submitted my petition yet...very soon though.

As the U.S. citizen they don't require this documentation from you, just for the beneficiary.

As everyone has stated - fingerprinting is required if you have a conviction - otherwise just the CPIC Canada wide name check will suffice.

This is available from the RCMP, it is also available from the Police:

Police Records - Canada

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.)

Applicants who have been convicted of a crime in Canada must contact their local RCMP office to obtain a “Certified Criminal Record Check,†which lists an applicant’s criminal history, indicating the section of the Canadian Criminal Code under which the applicant was charged, the disposition of the case, and the penalty imposed, if any. Obtaining a Certified Criminal Records Check requires submission of a fingerprint chart; the RCMP could take between two and twelve months to process a request for a Certified Criminal Record Check. (Note: If a namecheck by a police agency reveals a conviction record, that agency may be unwilling to issue a certificate and may refer the applicant to the RCMP for a Certified Criminal Record Check.)

I have a question about this sorta and rather than post a new thread, I thought I would just ask here

I have lived in the same place my whole life, however I went away to University for 3 years - I never used the address for anything though, I never changed my address on my driver's license or bills or anything. I also really only lived there like 8 months our of the year and went home on weekends. Can I just put my 1 main address on there? Or to be safe should I list my school addresses and get a check in that city?
