No, I was denied a name check / clearance letter from the Toronto police even though I have no convictions/criminal record. I do, however, have an arrest record ( anytime the police put handcuffs on you this is kept in their system even if nothing results from the arrest, court apperances, charges etc.). I had to submit my fingerprints to the RCMP, which took 2 1/2 months to get ONLY because I got my MP (member of parliament) involved.

The Toronto police were in the wrong here.

I would have went to the commissionaires and gotten my police check through them instead. You have options and do not have to go to the police department unless it's the only possible way. In my small city in Alberta, I only had the RCMP to go to, but I know in Toronto you have city police, the OPP, RCMP, and commissionaires. You always have options and the Toronto police are the ones who screwed up on you. You submitted more than you needed to, more than is required by the NVC or US consulate in Montreal, but hey, like you've said before, it didn't hurt anything either, just cost you time and money.

Just to clarify - I was under the impression that you only needed to submit a full-fingerprint version IF you were convicted of a crime in Canada. If you have not and a police record check comes up c

Hey NLR!! Funny thing is, I called the commissionaries as well and they told me the same thing the police told me - I would have to go to the RCMP even with no criminal record.
