dopamineislife Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 On the Office of Risk Management site it states the CPRM team will provide a letter to give to the local police department for the sector check. I am assuming this was when the police checks were done in-person. My city is now doing them online. I emailed CPRM whether I still need the letter to give the police dept. Anyone in a similar situation and receive a reply from CPRM? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried looking at Toronto and they require an "agency" letter and no online option. But London has an online option and doesn't require any letter (I might be going with that). So I don't think it matters much as long as you're able to get it done and forwarded to the school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, London does require a letter: The University's CPRM team will need to provide you with a letter to give to the London Police Service. Please request the letter from CPRM@uOttawa.ca. Be sure to provide your full name, including any middle names or initials, your program of study, your student number and your date of birth.

I actually don't have a gov ID with address yet (new Canadian here) but most of my bills are sent to my parents place in London. It's weird that the London website doesn't state the need for a letter explicitly. I'll email them and ask too but do let us know in case you hear back first.

deedee908 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Sorry if this is a dumb question, but in first year on any placements, what would be the correct description for "Details regarding the responsibilities toward children or vulnerable person(s)"? I was thinking of putting something about being a learner in a healthcare setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrOtter Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Anyone doing it online in London?

DrOtter Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 22 minutes ago, med97 said: Hey, How are people in GTA going about this as we don't have online application. Thank you! I actually inquired about Toronto before deciding on London since I have proof of residence in both places. For Toronto you need to print off the request letter on legal-sized paper, then submit that with a money order or certified cheque for $20 (application fee) to the police department.

Exactly what DrOtter said! You can also email Rema from CRPM and she will mail you the request form if you don't have legal sized paper (I didn't haha). Another option is to send it to your local Staples to print on legal sized paper. It was only about 90 cents with tax. Once you fill out the form and attached the 20 dollar money order, you mail it the police department downtown (40 College St). I hope that helps.

deedee908 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I am wondering about mailing the completed police check--will anyone be there to receive it in person? Should we also be sending in a scan for the interim or anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always open it and scan it first and then mail it by express post (I have submitted about 5 police checks to uOttawa for each year of med school and residency). This is in case it gets lost in the mail, you would not be penalized for missing the deadline. Also if you are asked for a police check by another organization that accepts a scanned version, its useful to have your own copy. benelli104, cubes868 and DrOtter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
