I would recommend RCMP PCC which is taking 8 weeks nowadays as we submitted upfront, but you don't know they might ask anytime which may further delay the process.
yes it takes time but not sure why Ottawa Commissionaires (as i am residing in Ottawa) website says like this "Commissionaires is accredited by the RCMP to take your photo, capture fingerprints and submit them directly to the Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS) for processing. If no criminal record is present, results take 72 hours or less."

Congrats again . @Kirlosker can you please tell me how were you able to change your bank address to a diff province by being in your home country? Is any proof needed by bank ? Did you also show the billing cycle or credit card bill issued against the new address?
