Just saw this conflicting post in another forum about fingerprint requirements even for individuals **without** Canadian criminal records.

Can anyone who has just passed their interview in Montreal confirm this is indeed not necessary (as others have said)?

you only need fingerprints if you have a criminal record..

See the Country Reciprocity Schedule for which version you need - you might need fingerprinting if you are currently residing out of Canada:

Wow, that link is super helpful. It's very comprehensive and addresses a lot of questions. Wish I knew about it sooner.

I haven't even been pulled over in my life. No problem with police and no criminal record in my life.

I however did have to do what she says. I went to my local Commissionaires office and paid the 80 bucks. About a week later I got the later stating that I am "clear".

The NVC would NOT continue processing my application without that paper.

Police stations won't help you and a local RCMP detachment won't help you either. You must go to Commisionaires.
