- If you do not have your fingerprint form ready, you can visit your local police station, notary office, or private fingerprinting agency to take your fingerprints. Some locations will provide you with the RCMP C216-C fingerprint form, but you are always welcomed to print a blank form out and bring it with you to take your fingerprints.
- Email the following documents to Apply:
