questions answered.
The most common questions — ordered by what applicants ask before starting.
Ask us directlyDo I need a police check for my immigration application?
+
It depends on your pathway. Citizenship applicants may need a Canadian record check plus foreign certificates; PR applicants typically need RCMP-based verification; some work permit streams require background screening. Contact us and we’ll confirm exactly what your application needs.
Do you provide immigration legal advice?
+
No — we handle police checks, fingerprinting, identity verification, and document coordination. We are not licensed immigration consultants or lawyers, and we can point you toward one if your situation needs legal advice.
Will I need fingerprinting as part of this process?
+
Many citizenship, PR, and some work permit applications require RCMP fingerprinting. We confirm whether your pathway requires it and handle the fingerprinting in the same office if so — see our Fingerprinting Services page for details.
I’ve lived in multiple countries — what do I need?
+
IRCC may require police certificates from each country where you’ve lived for a certain period. We’ll review your residency history and give you guidance on which certificates apply to your case.
How long does the process take?
+
Processing times vary by pathway and by how many checks are required. Canadian record checks are typically fastest; foreign certificates and RCMP processing can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline once your pathway is confirmed.
Can my employer or sponsor be involved in the process?
+
Yes. For work permit and sponsorship applications, we can coordinate directly with employers or sponsors where documentation or confirmation is required from their side.
I’m applying from outside Canada — can you still help?
+
Some steps, like in-person fingerprinting, require physical presence in Canada. Other parts of the process — such as guidance on foreign police certificates or document review — can be coordinated remotely. Contact us to confirm your specific situation.
Is my information kept confidential?
