I migrated to Canada 8 years ago and I am Canadian Citizen since last 5 years.

I have been selected for a Govt job.

My employer needs a "letter of Good Conduct" from Indian Embassy!

I do not understand this requirements but one of the persons told me that it might be due to my 25 days visit to India in 2005 and 2007!

I explored Indian Embassy web site but there is no information about "Letter of Good Condutct"

I would be very garteful if any of you can help me here.

Is it the same thing as "Police clearance" ?

My prospective employer wants to have this ASAP or else I will not be offered jpb!

Nice way of keeping DESIS out of Federal jobs!

Please help

Hi hum-tum;

It is really something new, never heard of before.
Canadian citizen for 5 years and asking him to produce a letter of good conduct from Indian embassy! Your 'employer' is Federal Govt. so did you recieve the communication asking for this letter in writing from federal govt.? You may ask if such an rule exists. You may take views of already hired (one in ten thousand) desis on such jobs.

-Ben

It might be security clearence they are asking to you. A friend of mine have reached to last stage of government job but he did not passed security clearence because he was not a canadian citizen.

I'm confused too between letter of good conduct, police clearence and security clearence. Desis in govt. please help.

એક જ ટીપામાં હો જાણે સાત સમંદર,
એવા ઝંઝાવાત હજુ હૈયાની અંદર

This is what I think it is:

Every applicant is required to be of good character. In order for them to determine whether you are of good character, you must provide police certificates from every country in which you have resided for six months or more in the ten years previous to the date of submission for that post.*

Procedures
If the country you come from is not listed in the information, or instructions are not given about a country of which you are an ex-citizen or resident, you should make your own inquiry about where to obtain a Police Certificate.

If you are unable to provide a Police Certificate, you must provide a separate Statutory Declaration, in English or French, detailing your attempts to obtain a Police Certificate and stating whether you have been found guilty or convicted of, or charged with, offence against the law in that country. This Statutory Declaration should also be corroborated by other information attesting to your character.

They will only accept original Police Certificates that are no more than six months old at the time of submission to the post.

If they have enclosed an explanatory letter that is addressed to you and if that requests this Police Certificate, then, they suggest that you enclose a copy of this letter with your application for the Police Certificate to any of the listed authorities. ( They may have a different procedure for that)

Information:
The information I am providing to you here is to the best of my knowledge, current at the time of posting. The Government or other authorities in other countries could amend their rules any time.

In Canada:
Either a Canadian police certificate that shows that the person has no record in Canada or an affidavit from the person detailing the nature and circumstances of the person's Canadian criminal history (including all arrests, charges and convictions). { Such as running a RED Light..etc.,}
Full Canadian police certificates issued based on fingerprints will be required from all such applicants by the deadline.

Also, you can obtain the assistance of a private firm International Fingerprinting Services Canada Ltd. For further information you may visit their website. http://www.ifs.ca. (It works) **

OR

The Commissioner
RCMP
Attention: Identification Services - Civil Section
P O Box 8885
Ottawa

Canada KIG3M8
A appropriate fee is payable at the time of the application. (You have to call and find out)

India:

For India:
Applicants in India - apply to the Regional Passport Office of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs or the Office of the Deputy Commissioner/Superintendent of Police for the area of your residence. The certificate must be the original, bearing the official Ministry Seal.

Applicants living in a Canada -you should apply to the High Commission of India located at 10 Springfield Road, Ottawa, Ontario K1M 1C9 Please verify.

The materials provided here are based on Canadian and Indian Citizenship. If there are other countries involved in their stay, it is for them to locate the proper sources and procedures. It is too much to compile and it is cut short due to time restraints.

You can also include letters of recommendations and good conduct from people placed high in the judiciary. (Some people are born here and related to them)

Hope this helps you a little.

Freddie.

It is people like you who work hard towards a goal and go through the whole maze and navigate through all of the difficulties finally seem to encounter an insurmountable obstacle and come to understand that it has boiled down to one item, and you also know what it is and then give up hope of obtaining the goal.

I admire your efforts, determination and hard work and I see you are approaching us here, with the last hope, and want to know what the procedure is and if you have failed some where in between.

That is why we always say "It is good to have knowledgeable friends". Ones that you can always tap on and ask. And You did. And we replied. With your response, I find that you have one more week to go and you also had two other weeks prior to this to get to us. May be some one who has gone through this and I do remember vaguely, reading through the CD, that there was one other individual who asked for a similar one, would have gotten back to you.

Now, knowing what it is that you have gone through and knowing what it is that you are seeking, I would suggest to you that you draft a nice letter stating who you are and where you reside and with all of the qualification that you possess, state that vehemently that you DO NOT have a "Criminal Record" and get it notarized and submit it along with the submission ticket or the number that RCMP (Or the Agency) have provided you with and see where it will take you. Also, try and obtain two colour copies of 1) your Passport and 2) the Driver's License and sign and write in capital letters your name and attest all of the documents and send them all to them for their consideration.

Then wait for their response. You may want to know why? I want to wish you all the best of luck.

You have overcome your obstacles and you came to the right place.

Good Luck.

Freddie.
