RCMP Criminal record check

I honestly do not remember whether it was a requirement or not. But I believe you should bring the request letter because the officer will enter your UCI and PR application number on the RCMP file. I had to open my phone, connect to IRCC portal to show the officer my application number.
RCMP check has more to do with potential name matches than time spent in/out of Canada. No way of knowing until MEP/BIL, which is when they'll send you the request IF needed.
Hi could you please share the list with me as well I just got the request letter for RCMP n don’t know how to proceed. Thank you
Email CCRTIS-SCICTR@rcmp-grc.gc.ca for the most recent list. They usually reply within few hours. Its better to get a recent list as they keep updating it more often. Keep subject line : Request for list of accredited fingerprinting companies. This will get you response quickly. Then you can search the place closest to you and call them to book an appointment. The whole process from fingerprinting to receiving the report at your place can take about 2 weeks.
Could you please let me know the process. I have sent a mail to rcmp for fingerprinting companies. Thank you for your help
You email RCMP and then You get the list from RCMP as reply -> Select the Company from the list where you want to give FINGERPRINTS-> Get an appointment from them (check their website/call them (I selected the closest Commissionaires office from my location)) -> Take your request letter + Active Work Permit (if you are inland) + Passport + 1 more photo ID with you to the appointment -> Give your fingerprints + photo (they will guide you throughout, place where I went the person was really helpful) -> Ensure you give correct mailing address -> Make payment (usually $50-60 at third party company) -> Wait for Report to show up in your mailbox (took 2 weeks for me). Report will come from CCRTIS RCMP office Ottawa. Then you can scan and upload it as pdf in your mycic account.
Thank you for a detailed reply, I went through fingerscan now waiting for the report.
I don't think this is true or the main reason. I have a particular name maybe unique since it is a very minority tribe. But I was requested as in inland. Plus, for my employers I already provide police check.
I got my rcmp in 3 days no criminal records. Just thinking main inland are requested rcmp. I read a lot about matching names but I doubt it. Plus I am a teacher so for sure if I had a criminal record I won t be able to teach.
No, not everyone inland is requested to provide an RCMP check. It's very rare. It's only when your name and other biographic details are similar to someone with a criminal record of some sort (not necessarily conviction, can be "named in a file.") If you look through the various Inland threads, very few people are asked to provide RCMP records.
