My common law partner is from South Korea and she has been living in Canada for the past few years under both a study permit and then a work permit, so I believe that she needs to provide both. But you're saying that at the police station she should be able to tell them she needs one for immigration purposes and that should be enough for them to understand?
I've been there a few times and those old women are miserable as hell and I don't want to go in there without knowing what I want or else they will give me a hard time or wont help me at all.
I called IRCC call centre to confirm if my partner needed to submit fingerprints for the police clearance record (we are applying outland and partner is from Chile). They said yes, if it is requested. My partner is going to a remote worksite for 2 months later in May, so we are trying to get the fingerprints done now, without the request before he goes away for his work (we received SA in March and have been waiting for 7 weeks for the VO to send us a request for information, probably the PCC request). I am not sure about inland applicants, but I would think if your partner has been in Canada for a few years, they will likely ask for one from Canada. If she is here and needs a fingerprint search, she can just go to the RCMP detachment to submit her fingerprints (they have a digital scanner there). I don't think you need to show them a request, however, if you don't have the letter from the immigration office, I believe they charge you an extra $25 (don't quote me on the exact amount). I think anyone can request a report as long as you pay for it.
Good luck to you guys!
