Canadian Police Certificate from Australia and Vaccinations

[CamBla 1]

Hello, I am looking for information from anyone who has applied for a Certified Criminal Record Check For Personal Use from the RCMP in Canada from overseas with a view to supplying this as evidence during the IR-1 visa process. My understanding of the process is as follows:

 

1. Fingerprints from Police Station
2. Send to RCMP through third party website
3. RCMP review and  send the criminal record check back via mail. 

 

The issue I am having today in Melbourne, Victoria, is that I visited the police station to get the fingerprints and I did not get the fingerprints on a Canadian form but on one that is letter headed Police Victoria. Does anyone know if this is sufficient?

 

Separately, the vaccination list on Travel.State.Gov is as follows: 

 

• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B
• Influenza
• Influenza type b (Hib)
• Measles
• Meningococcal
• Mumps
• Pneumococcal
• Pertussis
• Polio
• Rotavirus
• Rubella
• Tetanus and diphtheria toxoids
• Varicella

 

I have checked with my doctor and I have not had a tetanus and diphtheria toxoids, is it recommended to get vaccines before the medical examination before the interview? Additionally, I haven't received a Varicella vaccine because I had chickenpox as a child and the Rotavirus vaccine isn't recommended for adults, has anyone encountered this before?

All vaccines would be under age appropriate determination - ie you wouldn't be expected to get hib, varicella or rotavirus. You had chickenpox, just give them the year you remember you had it.

Thanks for that information, that was how I presumed it would go. If the doctor at the medical decided I were to get a vaccine, do you know if they can administer it there and then?

Many will do them in office, but it will be an out of pocket cost and that cost is often higher than if you get the vaccines in advance.  Hopefully your GP, a travel clinic or supplemental insurance would help minimize that cost.
