NightsRequiem

We got our NOA on the 17th and are scheduled in for the biometrics on April 1st. Not looking forward to the 300 mile drive to the office, but we'll make a mini vacation out of it

I've heard a lot of good things about Recycled Bride. Its now called Tradesy Weddings though. I'd check it out

Thank you for your reply. I just looked up the nearest detachment on the RCMP site and it looks like its a couple hours away. I'll have him call there tomorrow as well and atleast try to get the fingerprints process started.

A little worried because below the map I was looking at was the following public notice:

"Please note that in the province of Ontario, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police no longer issues police certificates or provides fingerprinting or criminal record check services to the public and private sector. "

I found a list of accredited places on their site that do fingerprinting so that will be another on the call list tomorrow

Hello all. I have a question that I was hoping someone here could answer. We're at the end of our rope

Sorry for the long background...its been quite an ordeal...

My Canadian fiance was referred to the nearest police station in the next town over to get the forms filled out for a police check. He lives in a very small town in northern Ontario and the secretary there didn't know what he was talking about. She wasn't sure she could do it, so he had left empty handed. We did some calling around and while the other police stations knew what it was he needed, none would help him as it apparently needed to be done at his local station.

He went back again a few weeks later after we did some further research and the lady wasn't there. Her sub said she couldn't help him either. He went back again a week later and she was back and stated that she could do it now but needed to see a utility bill to prove his address. He didn't have one on him at the moment so he had to leave yet again. He was able to get back in on Monday this week, with the utility bill in hand, and filled out all of the paperwork and paid the fee. She said it would arrive within a few weeks. We thought we were all set.

Unfortunately, she called him a few hours after he got home and told him that she forgot to have him fill out one last form. Ugh. Turns out this last form she needed is a form where he has to list all of his charges that he's had. Apparently, he had some charges from when he was a minor. He hasn't had a charge since he was a teenager about 10 years ago. She told him they were showing on his record because he had violated probation when he was younger. (thankfully he grew out of that )

He couldn't remember what the charges exactly were, so she said she couldn't help him and couldn't send it in. He asked if she could just tell him what they were for the form since she could see them on her computer, but that was a no go. Soo...after about five trips to the next town, he's got nothing but a receipt and they still have his fee.

Now that we know his minor charges are showing, we're also worried that he might have to get finger prints now. From what I was reading its 120 days and we've already had to push his interview in Montreal from March 26th to June 3rd because of all this

Does anyone have suggestions for who he can call to get this all sorted out? He's going to be calling around tomorrow and I was hoping against hope that someone else had perhaps been in this strange situation before. Thank you for any help you can provide!

Sorry for the late reply. I was out for the weekend. Thanks for the welcoming!

Hope you have fun on your trip, Jen! I haven't been to Canada since 2006, but the town I was in is still one of my favorites

Hi everyone. I've been lurking around here for awhile and thought I would introduce myself really quick. My fiance and I are currently in the process of filing a K-1 (NOA1 March 21). I live in Montana and he lives in Ontario. This website has been an incredibly big help in the process!

Kai and I met on a MUD, basically an old school text based MMO, eight years ago. We dated for a year or two in high school until we eventually drifted apart and lost contact. We found each other again on Facebook two years ago and the rest is history
