Hi

I went to the VPD on Cambie, they do the fingerprint assessment there too.

You'll need 2 pieces of ID (one needs to have a photo)

They'll give you a form to complete and which you just give back to them and you go to a room and someone will fingerprint each of your fingers, wash your hands and you leave.

It cost $70 and took less than a week before I got it through my front door.

You do not pay the federal processing fee if you need a record check for one of the following situations:

You are applying for Canadian citizenship
You are applying to immigrate to Canada
You are applying for a job in the federal government (this is requested by your departmental security officer)
You are applying to join a Canadian police force (when requested by the police force)
You are making a request under the Privacy Act
You are applying to do volunteer work in Canada

Yours was free? In Vancouver, the fingerprinting etc.?

Others I saw in other provinces have been charged between $25 - $50, how did you manage to get it free?

I submitted mine on July 31th in Winnipeg !

I got nothing till now !
Two weeks back to Winnipeg police station to check on the progress , they informed me that they had some issue in sending the digital records to Ottawa! they resent it again on 17th Aug.
I have also contacted RCMP in mean time,
I got the following reply from them on 24th " you records has been processed on 20th AUG"

I still have not gotten anything :-[ ,.. very worried that Canada post might have lost the report ! :'(
