RCMP Criminal record check

[cpark]

Hi guys,

I just got a biometrics collection letter and RCMP Criminal record check request today.

For biometrics, I know that all the locations are closed but for RCMP criminal record check, should i go to the Toronto police service website and request for criminal record check (level 1) online?

I think online criminal check is name based and what we need is criminal check based on finger print. Use third party if you cant do it at police station

Thanks! I received the list of accredited fingerprint companies from the RCMP today.

what do they base the RCMP Criminal record request upon?

Hi there, I only receive BIL and no RCMP. I did not provide upfront rcmp when I submitted my application. Does this mean, rcmp is not really mandatory?

That´s correct, not everyone gets the RCMP request letter, though no idea what´s their criteria for that

They probably have nothing else to do and added a new requirement to earn extra money :/

Lol...I don’t think so. I think one of the reasons everyone doesn’t get RCMP request is because some people already did the police check at a point before and IRCC is able to pull that record.
In my case, I did RCMP criminal record check as part of my background check when I started working at my firm and that record is still valid.
When I got my GCMS note, I saw a comment on my RCMP report, which made me guess that they had access that data because I didn’t submit RCMP PCC for PR application.

lol no, I was just being sarcastic but yeah that makes sense.

RCMP criminal records checks come up when your name or other biographical information is similar to a criminal's information. You are required to provide fingerprints to verify you are *not* the criminal in question.

IRCC conducts name-based searches of criminal records in Canada for all applicants. For most applicants, the name-based search is sufficient to show no criminal record. However, if the name-based search returns a record, then IRCC requires fingerprints to determine if that record is yours, or someone else's with the same name.

I just got the RCMP request too. CEC inland. Thankfully there's one accredited company (Commisionaries) near my office in Vancouver by appointment.

Does anyone know how long does it takes the canadian criminal record check certificate to deliver at home address?

From what I’ve read, if the search comes back clean, they should mail the certificate out within 2-3 days. If some investigation is needed it could take 2+ weeks. Then it’s up to Canada post to see how quickly they deliver. Recently they’ve been mishandling quite a few of my letters (we deal with mail a lot at my company), so it’s Canada post that I’d be worried about.

I had to request this RCMP criminal check with fingerprints for my wife, I am the main applicant. It took 2 days to get it done and more 4 days to receive the letter. You can expect the whole process to take approximately 1 week.
