Fingerprinting for Immigration & Citizenship
Applying for permanent residence, citizenship, or a work permit? IRCC often needs fingerprint-based criminal record results. SekCheck captures and submits them the accepted way — in Surrey, or remotely if you’re overseas.
When immigration applications need fingerprints
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) frequently requires a fingerprint-based RCMP criminal record check for permanent residence (including Express Entry and Provincial Nominee), citizenship, and certain work-permit and sponsorship applications. Fingerprints confirm identity beyond doubt, which is why they’re the gold standard for these high-stakes applications.
If your application or an IRCC officer asked you to “provide your fingerprints” or get an “RCMP criminal record check,” we handle exactly that — accredited, secure, and submitted electronically.
What to bring to your appointment
Two pieces of ID
Valid government photo ID matching your application.
Your IRCC reference
Any request letter, UCI, or file number from IRCC, if available.
Overseas? No problem
If you’re outside Canada, ask us about the remote process via our International service.
How it works
- Walk in or book at our Surrey office (open Mon–Sat (Sundays by appointment)).
- We capture your fingerprints digitally in minutes.
- We submit them securely to the RCMP as an accredited agency.
- You receive the certified result to include with your application.
