The Institute will require you to provide a certified copy of a national police certificate issued by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and not by local/provincial police services.  You must have your fingerprints taken on form C-216C at your local police station in Canada. In the 'Reason for Application' section of the fingerprint form select the 'Vulnerable Sector' option.

For more information on obtaining a police certificate through the RCMP, please refer to www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
