Simple question?

[marie007 1]

Dear Readers.

I forgot to ask. Do I need a special form for my police certificate ( police check). And where do I get this form? Is the form from NVC, or is it just a RCMP form which they would have. What do I bring to the local RCMP in New-Brunswick?( place in Canada for those who don't know) How much does it cost and how long does it take?

I would like to hear only good news concerning my question. No just joking. Anyone tell me like it is. It hasn't been easy so far, so it isn't going to be easy right to the end.

I wonder how many of us get into argument with spouse, because of high emotions? Did I say that. Lol.

Thanks to all with love.

It is requested from your local government office. Your local police division should have a specific office to go to make the request. Check with the US embassy. They can tell you where to make the request.

most of the time you need your NOA2. I would call your police station first and ask them what paper you will need. Some police only need the NVC case #.

This is asked a lot in the Canadian forum.

There is no form to get - you just go to your local police station or RCMP and say that you need a Police Certificate for US Immigration purposes. The certificates they use vary across detachment and police service. You just need to ensure that it was a Canada wide search using either CPIC or the national criminal records repository using your name and DOB. Ensure that whatever they give you says on the form - the names they searched by, your DOB and that they checked CPIC and/or NCRR.

As for cost - this depends on where you live. I have read from $0-$60 depending on where the person lived. Seems like most people get it done cheaper from the RCMP (sometimes for free). I got mine done with the Edmonton Police Service for $30.

As for time - that depends on where you go as well. Some people get them the same day, others get them in 1-2 weeks. Usually not much longer than that.

I have not heard of anyone needing a NVC case number (they probably wouldn't even know what that is).

I have provided the MTL NVC instructions below:

POLICE CERTIFICATES. The certificate issued for your present place of residence must have been

issued within the 12 months preceding the date of your final visa appointment in Montreal. The following

information applies to specific jurisdictions:

Canada: Contact your local police service or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)

regarding criminal record check procedures. Certificates may issued by any Canadian police force

so long as they note that CPIC or the national criminal records repository was searched using your

name and date of birth. Please ensure that the search includes all names that you have previously

used, including maiden names or names prior to naturalization. (Note: Because records checks

based on name and date of birth only are sometimes less thorough that those based on fingerprints,

the Consulate reserves the right to request that certain applicants obtain fingerprint-based searches

from the RCMP.)

If you have a record of conviction in Canada, please contact the RCMP in order to have a full set

of fingerprints taken. See http://www.rcmp.ca/crimrec/finger2_e.htm#Obtain. (Note: If a

name- and date of birth-based search by a police agency reveals a conviction record, that agency

may be unwilling to issue a certificate without taking a full set of your fingerprints and sending

them to the RCMP for positive identification.)
