Re: canadian police check anyone???????
The form you are thinking of is form 47P (penal clearance) and is available from the following location:
http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/forms_num1.htm
47P states that if you are a resident of Canada with no criminal record you simply need a local record check, but if you are either a non-resident or have a criminal record then you need to go through the RCMP, which is what Margoo was hitting.
Cheers,
Brian

I believe RCMP checks require fingerprints, which can be obtained from http://www.fingerprintingservice.com/. But I think that only applies to people with criminal records, unless DIMIA is more strict now.
Back in 2004 the DIMIA web site had a very helpful booklet stating their specific requirements for each country. I cannot find the booklet on their site at the moment, but I'm sure it's there.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Brian. I missed that Margoo is not now in Canada. They'll just have to beat up on the Canadian High Commission, I guess. Or try phoning the RCMP (http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/crimrec/finger_e.htm) in Ottawa long distance.
