Hi guys joining the thread. Congrats to all the Nov applicants who have heard good news so far, those in line, not to worry your day is coming up soon. I noticed quite a few are waiting for RPRF. Just in case anyone asks, I did pay mine when I submitted my application. They encourage you to do so when paying the application fees. It was a lot to pay at once but I did it any ways and got it out the way. I guess its for faster processing so I did. It does cut down on the amount of time emailing back and forth. I am in Canada for more than six months so I submitted RCMP fingers prints. I went to the local police station, they took my prints and sent it to Ottawa RCMP for a Canada wide criminal check. Ottawa RCMP sent the results back to me and I submitted it with my application along with the other PCC from my home country. I haven't gotten any request from them otherwise so I guess that it how they want it to be done :

Hope that helps for anyone looking for some answers along that line.
