RCMP clearance for outland application??

[newlife23]

I just read in the Singapore thread that we need to submit RCMP clearance if we have lived in Canada for more than 6 months. I have been living here for more than 18 months, am still here on implied status from a student visa waiting for a visitor's visa. What are my options now in submitting a RCMP clearance? And also where do I mail it to?? Any advise is much appreciated.

Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?
Only in certain cases. The Canadian visa office will tell you if you need a Canadian criminal record check while your application is being processed.

If you do get a request for an RCMP check then it is much faster to do the check electronically (Commisionaires is one place that does this) within Canada and then forward the results to the visa office.

It can take 3-5 months to do the check if you submit a paper form.

As far as I know the CIC consulate office requests the background check from the RCMP directly. That's what they have done in my case, and I believe I've read other applicants on this forum saying the same thing.

Thank you for all the replies. I will keep in mind to do the check electronically if CIC request one from me.
