Police certificate question (SPLIT)

[Navis Chra 6]

My fiance is a York region resident, currently with me in NYC expecting our first child  

We finally received our "ready" from NVC to embassy and waiting for our packet 3 instructions. I found the online version just to get a head start and we are trying to obtain the police certficate. My fiance has a record from 10 years ago related to possession of weed and it's legal in Canada now so we've received a U.S. waiver to allow him to cross the border. 

 

Is there a link that we can go order the police certificate or does he need to go in person? I see that fingerprinting is required, is it possible for him to get that done here? He has went through the biometrics part with RCMP for court records and the waiver. 

 

Any sort of guidance anyone with a beneficiary in Canada can provide would be helpful. So anxious that we're so close but don't want anything more to be a drag. It's a just a money grab situation wherever we turn.

Police records checks do expire.  I would wait until closer to the date that it is required to obtain it.  Any commissionaires or fingerprinting services can provide this service.  He will have to be present to get his fingerprints taken so the agency can request the check.  It will likely take about 10 business days and will have an associated cost.

We went to the police station and they ordered the wrong certificate even though we explicitly mentioned the Privacy Act. However, we had success at Comissionaires. If you go to the Toronto Area Commissionaires website (https://www.commissionaires-cgl.ca/identification-services/) and click Book Now (or visit the scheduling link here https://ids.as.me/schedule.php ) :

You will see a "Digital Fingerprinting - Privacy Act" option. Commissionaire's systems will order the correct certificate.

 

Then, you can choose a location in Toronto.

 

After fingerprinting, the police certificate arrived in 10 days by post. I hope this helps.
