Overview & regulatory basis

IRCC requires an original Thai Police Certificate plus a certified English translation. Documents must be issued within 6 months of submission and bear an MFA stamp verified through VFS Bangkok.

Documents required

  • ✓ Passport + IRCC application reference
  • ✓ GCKey / IRCC portal receipt
  • ✓ RCMP C-216 fingerprint card (some PNPs)
  • ✓ Certified translation + MFA

Legalization

IRCC accepts MFA legalization as authenticity proof; Canadian Embassy authentication is not required.

FAQ

Do I need RCMP fingerprints?
Only for certain PNPs and security-sensitive occupations—ILC provides inkless C-216C cards mailed directly to RCMP.
