You can request your CRC letter by following this link, if you would like your completed CRC sent directly to SAMHA we will also send a form you can bring to the RCMP along with the letter. Please note the RCMP only mail completed records checks once per week so it may take a while to get to us. Any completed CRC's we receive will be logged and the original mailed back to the owner. If you would like to pick up your completed CRC from the RCMP you can either drop it off at the SAMHA office or email it to documents@samha.ca with the subject line CRC - YourLastName
