Mexico

[islenio]

Islenio since I caught you on here I have two questions for you!

1) How long did the Mexican embassy take to get the Constancia for your wife, any advice on that? Should we go ahead and order it ahead of time once were a few months in, or wait for the letter to be sent out?

2) What Mexican embassy did you use, the Toronto based one?

Thanks a bunch!

The Embassy (Ottawa) and their consulates do not get the constancia for you. They offer a service to put a "document package" with all the documents needed to get someone in Mexico to get the constancia for you.

At the same time they will give you a similar letter to the official request that you will receive from the Canadian Embassy in Mexico. That means you won't need the canadian letter to get the constancia.

The downside is that the constancia says that the request was made by the Mexican embassy in Canada but we didn't have any problem with that.

My original plan was to send the request in advance and get the constancia in advance but we received the the email from the Canadian embassy around the same time we got the "document package" from the Mexican Embassy so timing was perfect for us. we didn't even wait for the Canadian official letter, we just sent our care package to a friend in Mexico city

We are leaving to go back to Canada on Tuesday - is there anything I should get for the Constancia while we are here? Also, I remember seeing the letter for the Constancia request by the Canadian embassy on here, could someone (if you remember) please point me in the right direction as to what page it is on? I would like to read it.

Thanks

One last question, we are picking up the police record check (state) tomorrow. We are sending it in with our application which will be sent out around April 20th (Just waiting to pass our common-law date to apply.. so by the time they receive it, it would still has one month of validity, making it okay.. Am I understanding that correctly? If not, does anyone know if it is possible to get a family member to go on behalf of my SO to get a police state check for him?

Some states allow it some states don't

We sent ours with one month left and it was OK.

 

[mc1234]

Good to know, will double check with our state tomorrow when we go and pick it up and will let everyone know for future reference.

Islenio, can you get a PGR from anywhere in Mexico, or does it have to be from Mexico City?

Thanks for all your info, very helpful.

Just in case anyone in interested, in the state of Quintana Roo, you can get someone to go on behalf of you if you are in Canada to get your state police check.

Okay, now I think I understand what your telling me Islenio. The embassy will make sure you have all the papers and prepare the package for you. Then you have to send it to someone in your family with your authorization for them to the the Constancia for you. How does it then get to Canadian embassy? Does our family member send it back to us, or do can they submit it to the Canadian embassy from Mexico City?

Thanks a bunch Islenio, I am super confused so just bear with me

They (Friend/relative) can just take it to the embassy, our friend did that the same day he received the constancia.

Please make sure that two witnesses sign the autorization and provideID, the Mexican embassy only asked for one and that almost got us in trouble since the PGR clearly states that you need two witnesses.
