A Dubai fingerprint vendor and a missing stamp
- Week 1A vendor in Al Karama.
The vendor is not RCMP-accredited and records her prints on an FD-258, which is the U.S. card.
- Week 5Wrong form, back to the start.
Her RCMP Criminal Record Check requires a C-216C, so the file has to restart from Step 1.
- Week 12Result in hand, not usable.
It arrives at her JLT mailbox without Global Affairs Canada authentication.
- Week 16The embassy step missed.
She has it authenticated in Ottawa, but no one mentions the UAE Embassy. MOFA in Dubai declines to accept it.
- Week 23Licence on hold.
Three couriers to Ottawa, a second set of fingerprints, and a nursing position held open for months.
One accredited route from her Dubai apartment
- Day 1Prints in Dubai Marina.
The associate verifies her passport and Emirates ID, then records a C-216C at her dining table.
- Week 1Filed on the accredited route.
No uncertainty about forms: Globeia Incorporated submits it through the RCMP-accredited route.
- Week 4Authenticated in Ottawa.
Once our team has reviewed the result, Global Affairs Canada authenticates it.
- Week 5Legalised by the UAE Embassy.
The UAE Embassy in Ottawa legalises it, and the legal Arabic translation is arranged next.
- Week 7Licence file complete.
A single invoice. A legalised and translated RCMP Criminal Record Check, ready for MOFA attestation and her DHA file.
