Police certificate from Canada

[Questionstime]

Hi all,

Checking on the checklists it looks like since I've been in Canada for more than 6 months id need to also get a a Canadian police certificate?? Would I be able to just head into any police station and request it? I heard it can take up to a month which is super long ...


Thanks
