RCMP name based vs fingerprinting?

[LahoriCEC]

Hi Everyone. I got an RCMP request today. I have seen that if CIC requires fingerprint based RCMP criminal record checks it is clearly mentioned in the letter that people receive. The letter I got states the following:

Dear LahoriCEC,
This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada. In order for us to continue the
review of your application, we require the following documents:

the link below.

Please upload these documents to your MyCIC account by 2016/04/26.

Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.

I went to Peel region Police station today and they gave me a Police Information Check that says that based on my name and date of birth a search of the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records, did not identify any records with name and date of birth of the applicant.

Is this good enough or do I need to get a fingerprint based RCMP?

Also, please only those people answer who actually have some knowledge or experience in this matter. A lot of people come here answering based on hearsay. Thanks alot.

I don't think it is, because this "name based" is routinely done as a part of your application by CIC. They probably need the fingerprinting.

I see you went to peel police. If you're going to get police check based on fingerprint then I would recommend "Commissionaries" on Dixie Rd in Mississauga. Go early, they open at 9:30 and I went there at 9:35 and was out within 15 mins. It's 40+ tax and you will get the results within a week.
