RCMP Fingerprint Based Police Certificate, how to obtain from Mexico City

[Cldetcom]

Hello,

Me and my family have been granted a CSQ, we sent our documents to the Sydney office on Nov 2013 and this Monday (24/02/2014) we were requested to send some additional documents to the Canadian Embassy in Mexico. We were requested to send a "RCMP Fingerprint Based Police Certificate" for my spouse only. We have no clue on how to get this within the shortest delay possible. We live in Mexico City and we'd greatly appreciate if someone can provide some guidance on this. Where to get the fingerprints taken and how to get the RCMP Police certificate in the shortest delay possible.

Please help

If you are OUTSIDE OF CANADA :

Contact the nearest police force which offers fingerprinting services. The RCMP will accept fingerprint forms from foreign countries that contain the following:

- Rolled and flat impressions of all ten fingers taken with black ink
- Full name, date of birth and sex of the applicant
- The name and address of the police agency
- The signature of the official taking the fingerprints

We didn't got any chances presenting us in local police stations. Since we needed the PGR letter we asked them to provide fingerprints with our printed C-216 form and they were kind to provide us with 3 copies.

I seems the request letter to give the PGR contains a request for this directly if RCMP is also required. But then you need to send it to Ottawa at RCMP headquarters. Because the delay is really long with ink-based submissions we used a Digital Conversion service called Reliability Screening Solutions which is costly but will take 3 days instead of months.

Hello,

Since you are located in Mexico City, the process can be handled from there. To obtain the RCMP fingerprint-based certificate, your fingerprints must be taken correctly and submitted to the RCMP along with the required documentation.

We assist with this process in Mexico, including fingerprinting and preparing the documentation for submission to Canada. I hope this has answered your questions. If you are still looking for a solution, please feel free to send me a private message; I can explain the process, requirements, and expected timelines.

I hope you find this information helpful. And congratulations on receiving your CSQ!

You are absolutely right. The problem in Mexico—where I am located—is that the police generally do not carry out this procedure because they lack the required forms. Furthermore, in many cases, it is impossible to clearly identify the officer who took the statement.

Compounding this are corrupt practices and a lack of willingness on the part of some officers to get involved in procedures related to investigations of this type, which can significantly complicate the process.

That’s correct. Carrying out this procedure in Mexico can be complicated, mainly because not all police agencies or government bodies are familiar with the process, and in some cases, there are difficulties in getting them to accept the request in person.

Once you have the relevant official government document, the process is usually simpler. However, not all police stations are equipped to handle it.

If you need more information about the process in Mexico, feel free to contact me, and I would be happy to share the details with you.
