[quote=”happygirl”][quote=”ddilnot”]Hi Paula,

This is interesting. I sent my documents to Foreign Affairs Canada with a letter regarding why I was asking for authentication and they automatically sent them to the Costa Rica Embassy in Ottawa. The CR Embassy will send them back to you by regular mail or I sent a prepaid courier envelope to Foreign Affairs Canada to send the the Embassy and my documents were returned from the Embassy in that. I would recommend sending everything via courier so it can be tracked.

I live in Toronto and am just in the process of applying for residence in CR. I called my local police station re the “certificate of good standing” and was given the name of a company, International Fingerprinting Services. I didn’t have to be fingerprinted but they filled out the appropriate forms for the RCMP and sent them to the local detachment ($35.00). I then when back to IFS a few days later and picked up the yellow half-page form. I then sent it to Foreign Affairs Canada for authentication and they sent it to the Costa Rica Embassy in Ottawa for their stamp of approval. Hope this is helpful.

We are in the midst of applying for pensionado residency. Apparently one of the requirements is a “Certificate of Good Conduct”, supposedly available from the RCMP. We understand that it is a yellow form, about a half a page long. Does anyone have experience with this form, or know the form number? We have contacted the RCMP by email and by phone, they don’t have a clue about this form.

Muchias Gracias

I hope this works out for you. I had to get my documents notarized first, then sent to foreign affairs. I received them back and then had to send to Costa Rican consul in Ottawa.[/quote]
