Hi all,
I have a question about my RCMP Criminal Record Check. The fingerprints company made a mistake when submitting my full name. The lady messed up my first name with middle name, it ended up having one word missing. I only found out about the mistake after she submitted it. She then told me not to worry because RCMP would issue the record based on the name on my government IDs.
My question is, is it possible that RCMP issue the RCMP Record Check under the mistaken name? If yes, what should I do? Re-apply the check or ask them to re-send me a new one under my correct name? I couldn't submit a RCMP Criminal Check with the wrong name, could I?
Thank you for your input.
Thank you. They should but they didn't. I only found out through a confirmation email but it was too late. Their mistake costs me a few weeks delay in my application process....
Hello, I have another question in regards to RCMP Criminal Record Check. I wonder if my application is still in process while IRCC is waiting on my RCMP or it’s on pause until my RCMP is submitted. Please advise. Thanks
