Canadian police check waiting time

[gbell]

Hello,

I'm applying for a criminal background check for Canada as part of the US spouse visa application. The RCMP website says the processing time 'could exceed four months'. I'm wondering if anybody here has gone through a similar Canadian background check and how long the process took. I simply cannot afford to wait four months or more. I'm not living in Canada at the moment.

Thanks for sharing.

That depends on which type of RCMP check. Finger print based or name based? I needed the latter for my K-1 visa back in 2002. It took less than 20 minutes when I approached RCMP in person.
