@Idiots together (obviously Ken Scotts friend I was talking about)

And see everyone? Ken Scotts little buddy was asking BULLSHIT questions, because Ken Scott DOESN'T know that when you have a pardon (or sequestration) Homeland Security USUALLY asks for Privacy Act.

This should be explained to EVERY client, and they be given the OPTION to do Privacy Act fingerprints BEFORE the waiver is submitted.

If a company cannot fingerprint (Not accredited by the RCMP) do not use them. First of all, anyone with a REAL office fingerprints. Why wouldn't you? Yesterday we had 10 sets of fingerprints throughout the day that were not pardon or waiver related. That's 10 people who PAID us just for fingerprints.

1. Ken Scott does not have an office. He uses a business center. (he rents an office hourly when he needs it) During covid he claimed to be in Canada and was doing videos from Surrey....but it was Surrey UK. The location CLEARLY showed that. He is not a Canadian.

2. Ken himself states he will not use Esafe. (he has posted in this VERY forum that eSAFE is not better) That's how I knew this was probably a problem timewise because of that. When you do not use Esafe, they have to MAIL you a request for the Privacy Act fingerprints. But they STILL only give you 87 days. This guy in panicking because it probably took 7-8 days for the letter to arrive from Virginia to British Colombia, and now by the time he got ahold of Ken (probably in the UK) now the panic sets in because the fingerprints are getting close to the 87 days.

3. With Esafe, he would have had that request THE SAME DAY. Then 87 days is NOT a problem unless it is lost in the mail. Also, this person NEEDS to go someplace OTHER than Ken who cannot fingerprint, and on top of THAT delay, the RCMP has to mail it all the way to BC from Ottawa.

Lesson?
-Use someone you KNOW is reliable.
-Make sure they fingerprint. They then are checked out, and they have something to lose if they don't live up to what they agreed to do
-Make sure they explain WHY they think you will GET a waiver, or at least what LENGTH of waiver. I can draw upon a high volume of recent waivers to justify my predictions
-Don't use a lawyer. Use a lawyer for things you NEED a lawyer for. Use a Waiver Expert for waivers. But I also cannot draw up a will or defend you in court.

**If someone claims "I used to work at this________, so therefore I am good at waivers, well, DID they actually do that? Ken Scott claims he worked at all types of places and is a borderline ninja. But he is really middle aged guy from the UK, NEVER went to University or had a job with the US government, but he can CLAIM anything. Ken used to KNOW Waiver because he DID waivers. Now no one uses him, and he is out of the loop. ****

@J Rogers well that’s not true because I met him in Surrey bc at his office so that doesn’t really make sense what u said there haha nor did u answer my question u just got dick hard over another person I’ve actually met 3-4 times at that same office so that’s a for sure lLIE he also told me ur 4 feet tall and u not a LAWYER AND HE ACTUALLY IS and said u work for ur wife’s fingerprinting shop that’s crazy both of u are idiots tbh lol

@Bindyyy joall

Ken Scott has been talked about here on the forum at length. Its his friend making all the negative comments. (under many names)

Ken Scott SHOULD have known, except for 2 things. 1. No one uses him anymore, because he doesn't even live in Canada. 2. He refuses to do waivers (I assume its still true) through eSAFE. Which slows EVERYTHING down.

Did he use Esafe? I assume you did this all online? He doesn't have an actual office, just a mailbox and a business center he uses for people who insist on meeting.

@J Rogers agreed but I don’t think it’s coming in time as they said processing and that’s it that’s all they say I think I’m gona fail my whole stuff by this but I still got about 2 weeks so I don’t know what’s goin on but rcmp aren’t working fast that’s for sure it’s slower the ever

Ps there’s a lawyer named Ken Scott who did mine he’s a moron did it 1935 way so slow and didn’t advice me t get privacy act fingerprints flier just wanted my time none the less I can’t do nothing about going to him now I can only pray my privacy act prints come back before deadline they sent me the rfe Feb 13 I got it like 12 days after my days start from the day on the letter obv right since he didn’t e file im dealing with mail so yea prolly a forced fail shits diabolical

Privacy Act fingerprints

If they say they have not mailed it out, then that better than "you should have had it" and its lost in the mail. Plenty of time still. I know that 87 days is short, but again, this is why you do your best to anticipate this before you apply. Once they mail it out, regular mail is less than a week.

Anyone who has a record, if you get a pardon or anything is missing because of Sequestration or discharges that have been removed, the US asks for Privacy Act fingerprints. So these people need the regular prints, and privacy act when they do their fingerprints.

Has anyone crossed border (with waiver) by land? Which one (land or air) is of less hassle w.r.t length/depth of secondary inspection?

I have crossed the border twice by air only and contemplating to cross by land (Ambassador Bridge @Windsor) as it is much cheaper.

@Howie Dawson that’s insane me too

@J Rogers I’m in similar situation of 47 days I call and they say the same thing aswell

[ Howie Dawson appended this reply on March 25, 2026 @ 9:53 pm ]

Then giving 87 days when the stuff could take 121 is diabolical…

@J Rogers I have the say the same thing in processing nothing else

@Bindyy Johal

Call the RCMP. Remember, they have to be mailed directly to YOU.

613-998-6362
ccrtis-scictr@rcmp-grc.gc.ca

You will need your DCN# when you call.

@J Rogers I’ve waited 65 days no fingerprints …

[ Bindyy Johal appended this reply on March 25, 2026 @ 6:19 pm ]

I know will probably miss my 87 day RFE which is RIDICULOUS

@J Rogers Thanks for your information.

@wkb You SHOULD get a 1 year waiver if it was done properly. 7 years ago gives you the "elapsed time".

@J Rogers The alleged misrep. actually happened 7 years ago but they denied entry because of that two years ago.

@Bindy johal

Usually 30-60 days is common.

@wkb When was the misrepresentation?

@J Rogers HOW LONG DO PRIVACY FINGER PRINTS TAKE

Has anyone crossed border (with waiver) by land? Which one (land or air) is more safe w.r.t length/depth of secondary inspection?

I have crossed the border twice by air only and contemplating to cross by land as it is much cheaper.

@J Rogers Hey, I applied my first waiver for misrepresentation on 10th March 2025 but have not got any responses yet. Does this longer wait time imply unfavorable outcome based on your experience? Thanks!

@kay

Is it a first waiver? It could be any day now, I wouldn't consider it "late" yet.

Why are you doing it? Has enough time elapsed?
