Background Checks

[jbewing]

Not sure if this the right place to ask this, but I was wondering if I need a background check done in Canada due to having visited for longer then six months. This is for the outland permanent resident application.

CIC will do the background checks itself. Sometimes they ask for fingerprints

How to obtain a police certificate - Canada

Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?
Only in certain cases. The Canadian visa office will tell you if you need a Canadian criminal record check while your application is being processed.

How and where do I obtain one?
If the visa office asks you to complete a criminal record check, visit the RCMP website for instructions.
