Question: Do I need to re do the C-216C with fingerprint chart and resubmit it to the RCMP for a date stamp and endorsement?
Answer: Yes, for each renewal, you will have to resubmit C-216C to the RCMP. You can now file electronically at many of the accredited fingerprinting agencies throughout Canada that utilize the Canadian Real Time Identification Services Division (CCRTIS). Processing time by the RCMP if electronically filed is dramatically reduced.

It is true, if you use a fingerprinting service that electronically submits the information, and you have a clear record, you can receive it in a very short time.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I suspect that many people who inquire here have criminal records as they are applying for the I-194 Waiver Of Inadmissibility.
So, therefore, the lightning-quick RCMP response times do not apply. In fact, I cannot even find them now on their website. I believe they were 120 days at last check.
In cases were there is a record at the RCMP, my case took a ridiculous ten months to return to me the civil product to submit to CBP. That was EVEN WITH my having submitted electronically through a local fingerprinting service. The RCMP got the application practically the same day because they send you confirmation that they "received it". But that doesn't mean anything when they sit on actually looking up my file.
My waiver itself took less than a third of the time the RCMP did to get my C216-C back.
Whatever the RCMP is doing they were obviously getting backed up.
And I sure hope they have their act together because I'm sending them another request for prints since the DHS only accepts (A) the original mailed letter with the dry seal and (B) these are only good for 15 months anyway.
If anyone can enlighten me what is going on at the RCMP that it is taking so long to return criminal records, I would be very grateful.
Just wondering, after just receiving my first i-194 good for 1 year, do I need all the information(court records) and letters I originally sent them and should I continue to use the Pardons/waiver service to obtain my next one?
