|
|
I'm going to Canada for three weeks. Is it possible to get a police check done in Canada when I am there, or does it take longer? I'd want to bring the documents with me back to Korea, rather than send them by mail. |

If you're in Canada, they can do it in one hour. Just like those one-hour photo places. |

Wow. That beats going to a Korean policestation, sending stuff in the mail, waiting months and months...
One hour huh. Think I'll wait till I get to Canada... |

If you want a simple CRC, then it's pretty much instant.
However, I'm assuming you want a vulnerable sector check along with it, which takes a bit longer.
I'm currently in Canada, waiting for my CRC.
The woman I spoke with at the Korean consulate recommended I have the check done with Commissionaires (www.commissionaires.ca).
I'm expecting it on Tuesday, which would make it a wait of 5 business days (stupid Easter!)
Hope that helps. |

Short answer : yes, you will have to get it done again. The new system requires that the police record check be no more than 3 months old.

I just did mine a week ago at my local RCMP office in BC and the woman told me it might take a few days, however she called me back later that day to say it was ready. It cost me $55 total for the criminal record check and the vulnerable sector search. |

What is this "vulnerable sector search"?
Is it the same as getting your document notarized? |
