Not only is this service invalid for a Canadian Embassy apostille, there's a good reason why it is. I used their services, hoping that it might satisfy the local school district (who seem to be an entity of their own within the public school system when it comes to hriing of FTs), and was given a clear. It said that 'No convictions were found. No charges were found.' for a _______ _________ _________ [my first, middle, last name] with my birthdate. Well it turns out that according to the RCMP there is someone of that name and birthdate with a Canadian criminal record. No wonder no Canadian agency will verify their data.

Do not, out of desperation like me, pay them $35 in hopes it works. It's worthless. I'll be requesting a credit card block-payment.

In the UK it would appear that "basic disclosure scotland" is a similar waste of time.

I got a prompt reply from the owner who said that he will be in touch with the RCMP in BC to find out about the discrempancy. He claims my check was cleared by someone at the Springhill, NS, police, and that the Sprinhill police can verify this.

While this still doesn't mean the embassy in Seoul will apostille it, it may not be a scam.

Everything worked out well for me...when I used their service.

I mentioned this in another post, but both the Canadian embassy here in Seoul and Truecheck said that local immigration will not accept any online police checks.

How many times are you going to edit the title of this thread.

You should have had enough sense to know that it wouldn't be accepted in the first place.

If you don't like it, don't read it.

My manager told me that immigration would accept a CRC from Truecheck.ca so I ordered one online. Actually, Truecheck said they wouldn't charge me unless it was accepted by immigration. After reading posts on Dave's I thought that maybe it wouldn't be so I ordered them from Winnipeg just incase.

As I thought, the Canadian Embassy wouldn't accept it. The lady said though she thought it was valid, that they were informed NOT to accept them.

Firearcher & others,

I understand your frustration. The Embassy of Canada is rejecting the the certificates because they say the Korean Ministry of Justice - Immigration Bureau told them too.

Unfortunately the MOJ has no basis in logic for providing such direction as the search/check provided by police when ordered through TrueCheck is identical to that when ordered via mail from any police agency in Canada. The certificates ordered through our service are signed by police on police letterhead.

The Embassy of Canada should address this issue on behalf of Canadians in Korea. Unless that happens, thousands of E2 holders will have to take the inconvenient, slow and highly insecure route to meeting their CRC requirement.

On the topic of security, there is an interesting irony in all of this. The Korean government is asking the subject of a CRC to independently acquire their own check. If the CRC is so important then the subject should never be in control of the process and outcome. We are the only provider who actually puts a serial number on each police certificate so it can be verified from source, which addresses the glowing security hole in the process as it is currently defined and accepted. With our system and process, the chain of trust is never compromised.

A previous poster provided a link to a full explanation from me on the issue.
