Hi rister! i just sent my request for police certificates to the embassy of canada in Mexico, i did what the website says, im inland too in canada and what i did is :
for the informe de datos registrales (federak police certificate)
sent the 3 sets of firngerprints ink type
the pictures they ask in the website
the letter of AIP (it says in the letter you need to send a copy)
and quote my file, centre of processing, client # and name, birth date
i did also added (not exactly necessary) the request for police certificate (that is included in your application package)
i sent all to the embassy of canada in canada
the only thing with this is that i really dont have a way to comfirm they received only the UPS confirmation, but ill be calling to cic canada in a couple of days just to figure out if they already send it to vegreville here
For the state police certificate, i went to the mexican consulado
and i bring all the papers they request, they gave me a letter made for the consul and the stamped all my papers, whit that in hand i sent it all together to my dad who is going to do that in mexico in the state which i was living for me. then hes gonna send it back to me, ill go to translate in english and then sent it to vegreville.
the people at the consulado de Mexico say that for the state police certificate they help you, but for the federal certificate is better to do it like the website of cic says. and thats what i did.
I know all this sounds like a pain,and it is, but is whorty after all we already did! and for all that is coming next to our loved ones!
check the consulado de mexico en google and where says documentacion a mexicanos, search "antecedentes registrales" thats for the police certificates.
God Bless you!
