Section 32: Communicating with Canada

Communicating with Canada

(WQ/WR, VQ/VR, UQ/UR, XQ/XR, CAQ/CAR, CGQ/CGR, CSQ/CSR, CBQ/CBR, IQ/IR, FQ/FR & AQ/AR)

Nlets supports a computer-to-computer interface to Canada for the purpose of exchanging criminal justice and criminal justice related information. Through this interface, a variety of information is available.

It is important to understand that Canadian information is provided from several sources. The Canadian Police Information Center (CPIC), a system somewhat similar to FBI/NCIC, is providing hot file and Criminal Record information. Vehicle registration and driver’s license status information for the provinces and territories are maintained by the individual Provinces and Territories to be shared through CPIC.

As a part of this interface, users within Canada also will be obtaining information from users in the United States. Since requests from Canada will conform to formats currently in use, states must be able to accept and send to Canadian ORIs.

Policy for Use of Information from Canada

The CPIC has both confidentiality and dissemination policies regarding the use of the information they provide. Within both the CPIC Policy Manual and Memorandum of Cooperation between the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the FBI it states:

Information is entrusted to the CPIC system for the purpose of communicating and sharing with the law enforcement and criminal justice community. Understanding that personal information is to be provided, received and used only in accordance with domestic and international law applicable to the United States and Canada for criminal justice purposes to facilitate police and public safety by preservation of the peace and protection of the public.

There is a collective responsibility to ensure this information is safeguarded from improper and unauthorized access, use, disclosure and dissemination. All information contributed to or retrieved from the CPIC system and NCIC/III systems is supplied in confidence and should be protected against disclosure to unauthorized agencies or individuals.

Authorized and unauthorized disclosure of the CPIC system’s information, intentional or otherwise, may take many forms including, but not limited to:

verbal communication;
viewing files or records on computer screens and printouts;
reproduced/copied material and information taken from computerized records;
overheard radio transmissions;
improperly stored or disposed material.

Disclosure refers to the intentional or unintentional act of making known any data or information from the CPI Centre system including, but not limited to any investigation, individual or situation, and includes the act of dissemination.

Dissemination refers to the intentional or unintentional disclosure of the CPI Centre information to one or many people. This includes, but not limited to, the disclosure of CPIC system information by one agency to other agencies or organizations.

Canadian privacy laws and CPIC policy require that users of CPIC data establish the accuracy and validity of the CPIC record prior to its use. Any record placed on the CPI Centre system is the subject of a police file maintained by the originator of the record, as long as the record is on CPIC. A Canadian agency will be able to confirm its CPIC records promptly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore any and all information obtained from CPIC by U.S. law enforcement which is intended for use or to be acted upon, should be confirmed first by contacting the contributing Canadian agency to confirm accuracy and relevancy.

Persons File (WQ/WR)

Persons File - General

This information is provided by the CPIC file and includes a variety of records, some not normally available from their United States counterpart, FBI/NCIC. Associated records such as vehicles, articles, guns, securities, or boats could be appended to the person record.

Note the following important requirements for Person File transactions with Canada:
Take no official action, and do not send any hit confirmations, on any response from the Canadian PERSON FILE without obtaining specific instructions from Washington D.C., INTERPOL. This information is provided for officer safety and is to be used only in conjunction with other information the inquiring officer may have at his or her disposal at the time of inquiry.
States must not programmatically generate inquiries to the Canadian PERSON FILE based on routine inquiries to their state wanted persons file, NCIC's wanted person file, or inquiries on driver's license by name and date of birth.

Persons File - Wanted (WANT)

This refers to a person who is arrestable and/or for whom a warrant or apprehension order has been issued. Persons wanted by Provincial, Canada-wide and extraditable warrants are recorded on this file.

Persons File - Accused (ACCD) – similar to US Charged

This refers to a person against whom legal proceedings have commenced in relation to a criminal code offense or an offense under a Federal statute, who is waiting final disposition, including any appeal, and for whom a warrant to arrest is not in force for that offense.

Persons File - Prohibited (PROHIB)

This refers to a person against whom an Order of Prohibition is in effect with regard to liquor, firearms, vehicle driving (and boat operation), hunting or any other court or statute-imposed prohibition.

Note: Individuals with revoked/suspended licenses will be returned as this type of record by CPIC.

British Columbia however keeps their own status information and therefore on a WQ no
automated status information will be provided for British Columbia licenses. To request information
from the province, send an Administrative Message (AM) to BC with your requested information.

Please note that the AM is not an automated message, so it may take some time to receive a response.

Persons File - Parole (PAROL)

This refers to a person who has been convicted of a criminal offense and has been released on:

Parole
Day Parole
Life Parole
Mandatory Supervision, or
Temporary absence over 24 hours from a federal penitentiary
Electronic monitoring (Canada or Province-wide)

Persons File - Court Action (formerly Probation)

This refers to a person who has been convicted or found guilty of an offense and:

Has been given a suspended sentence, or conditional discharge under section 736 (1) CC, or
Has been released on probation, or
Has been placed on peace bond, recognizance or restraining order, or
Is a young offender who is in "open custody".

Persons File - Refused (REF)

This category has been incorporated into the CPIC file to meet the requirements of the Firearms Legislation of the Criminal Code. It is used to record data on a person who:

Has been refused the issuance of a Firearm Acquisition Certificate (FAC), or
Has been refused the issuance of a Firearm Registration Certificate (FRC), or
Had an FRC revoked.

Persons File - Special Interest to Police (SIP) - similar to US OBS file

This primary category is used to alert law enforcement and public safety partners about past police interventions which may signal, amongst other things, future safety and intervention concerns when dealing with the individual.

SIP is used to record data on a person who is of particular interest for one or more of the following reasons. The individual:

Has a history of violence or attempted violence;
Is involved in or committing criminal offences (in Canada or in a foreign country);
Is a known hostage-taker;
Is in danger of being a victim of family violence;
Is a foreign fugitive for whom there is no authority to arrest in Canada;
Has been released by a Board of Review on a vacated Warrant of Committal with no probation conditions;
Is an applicant for a record suspension from the National Parole Board;
Is the subject of a DNA Order or Authorization (Form 5.03, 5.04, 5.06 or 5.09);
Is overdue on a weekend or day pass from a federal penitentiary and a warrant has not yet been issued by Correctional Service Canada.

Special Interest to Police (SIP) records containing information about an individual that may pose a danger to an officer will be returned to the inquirer. Other types of "observed" records that are kept merely for surveillance purposes will not be provided to the inquirer.

There may be instances where a "silent hit" occurs. This means that the agency that entered the record will be notified that you inquired on his/her record, but you will receive a “no hit” message. In some instances, the agency may contact you in regard to this inquiry.

Persons File - Missing (MISS)

This refers to a person:

Reported missing, or
Who has been admitted/committed to a mental institution or hospital psychiatric ward and has left without permission or formal discharge (designated as an elopee), or
For whom a police agency has undertaken to assist in locating on compassionate grounds. For example, if someone is travelling and their family members are trying to locate them to notify them that a family member passed away, the police might try to locate them on compassionate grounds.

Persons File - Inquiry Field Requirements (WQ)

Persons File - No Record Response (WR)

This occurs when no matching record was found in the Canadian file.

Persons File - Possible Hit (WR)

If a possible hit has been made on the Canadian Person File, the inquiring agency must contact Interpol to confirm the hit with the entering agency.

There may be some fields in Canadian messages that are unfamiliar to Nlets users.

Vehicle File - Stolen (V or VEHICLE)

This refers to a vehicle that has been stolen, or taken from its rightful owner by the commission of a crime, (e.g., a vehicle purchased from a dealer under false pretenses).

Vehicle File – Surveillance (SURVEILLANCE VEHICLE – like Observed)

A vehicle under observation is one which is connected with criminal activities and may or may not be related to a specific individual.

Note the following important requirements for Vehicle File Observation transactions with Canada:

In the event a vehicle is reported as being under observation, absolutely no action is to be
taken by the inquiring officer. This information is provided solely for officer safety.

Subjects present or associated with the vehicle must not be notified that the vehicle is
reported under observation by the CPIC system.
The inquiring agency must contact Washington INTERPOL for further instructions
regarding the vehicle and/or occupants of such vehicle.

There may be instances where a "silent hit" occurs. This means that the agency that entered the record will be notified that you inquired on his record but you will receive a "no hit" message. In some instances the agency may contact you in regard to this inquiry.

Vehicle File - Crime (CRIME)

Crime vehicles are those vehicles known to be connected to the commission of a crime, (e.g., hit and run, murder, robbery, etc.). They are entered on the system by an agency wishing to examine the vehicle for possible evidence such as fingerprints, paint samples, bloodstains, disguises, empty shells, etc.

Vehicle File – Seized (like Abandoned)

This refers to a vehicle that comes into your possession through abandonment, seizure (including seizure by bailiff), or impounding by other means.

Vehicle File - Pointer (PNTRV or POINTERVEH)

This refers to a vehicle record whose function is only to "point" to a prime record in the system. For example, an individual wanted for a specific offense is entered into the system as a wanted person record. He is known to drive a particular car. The vehicle's particulars are entered on the system as a PNTRV record to point to the prime wanted person record should an inquiry be received concerning the vehicle only.

Vehicle File - To Be Seized

This category allows agency to record a vehicle which is to be seized as per court order or statute.

Vehicle Query Field Requirements (VQ)

For VIN inquiries only "CN" is allowed for the destination code.

For LIC inquiries, a providence or territory destination code must be used.

All fields are required (with either LIC/or VIN/).
For inquiries on license number, a 2-character province code must be used as the destination.
For inquiries on a VIN, the 2-character destination "CN" must be used.

The query includes the standard Nlets message header (XML or Legacy format), sender and destination ORIs, followed by the text of the message with the following fields.

The field requirements for an inquiry to Canada are as follows.

XML Entry:	Legacy Entry:	Field Size:	Data Requirements:	Translation:

Driver License Files (UQ/UR)

Driver License Files - General

Requests to Canada for driver license information must include NAM, DOB, SEX. RSN and PPS are optional fields.

The OLN field is optional on inquiries to Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Ontario. If the OLN is not included in the inquiries to these provinces, the search of the driver license file will be by name and DOB.
If the OLN is included, the search of the driver license file for those provinces will be by OLN.
For all other provinces and territories the OLN, as well as the other five fields are required and the search of the driver license file will be by OLN.

Driver License Files (UQ/UR)

Driver License Files - General

Requests to Canada for driver license information must include NAM, DOB, SEX. RSN and PPS are optional fields.

The OLN field is optional on inquiries to Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Ontario. If the OLN is not included in the inquiries to these provinces, the search of the driver license file will be by name and DOB.
If the OLN is included, the search of the driver license file for these four provinces will be by OLN.
For all other provinces and territories the OLN, as well as the other five fields are required and the search of the driver license file will be by OLN.

This inquiry will also result in a check of the Person file located on the CPIC system. The search of the Person file will be by NAM/DOB.

As a result of a single "UQ" inquiry you will receive both "URs" and "WRs". These are responses from the provinces/ territories (UR) and CPIC Person file (WR).

Driver License Files - Person File Access

The inquiry generated from a "UQ" query to the CPIC Person file will be by NAM/DOB. It will be as though you sent a "WQ" to Canada.

Driver License Files - Responses (UR/WR)

There are two types of responses that will result from a "UQ" inquiry:

Person file response (WR) and
Province/ territory response (UR).

Driver License Files - Person File (WR)

Since a UQ generates an inquiry of the CPIC Person file, the user will be receiving responses from the Person file.

The response will include suspended or prohibited driver status information for all province/territories except British Columbia who will provide the information from their own file.

For those provinces that provide their own registration information, a message will indicate that the query is being processed.

Note the following important requirements for Driver License File transactions with
Canada:

Take no official action on any response from the Canadian PERSON FILE without
obtaining specific instructions from Washington D.C., INTERPOL. This information is
provided for officer safety and is to be used only in conjunction with other information the
inquiring officer may have at his or her disposal at the time of inquiry.
In the event a person is reported as being under "observation", take no action based on
this information and do not divulge the existence of this information to the subject of record or any
non-criminal justice personnel.

Driver License Files - Province Territory (UR)

Only six provinces in Canada have automated driver license files. These four provinces also provide a search of either name and DOB, or OLN depending on whether the inquirer includes the OLN in their inquiry. They are:

Quebec
Ontario
Alberta
British Columbia
New Brunswick
Saskatchewan

When sending a Driver License Query (UQ) to an automated province, you will receive:

Person file check (includes any notification of driver license prohibition) Check of the Province's driver license file.

When sending a Driver License Query (UQ) to a non-automated province or a territory, you will receive:

Person file check (includes notification of driver license prohibition) Driver License Response (UR) message indicating that the province is non-automated and, if information OTHER THAN STATUS is needed, send an "AM" message directly to the province/territory for a manual check. The message will also contain the address of the province or territory as well as a copy of the inquiry that was sent.

Below is a list of the provinces/territories and the ORIs to which the manual requests should be forwarded:

Province/Territory	ORI	Hours of Service	2-Character Code
Alberta	AB1010200	8am - 5pm (EST) M-F	AB
Alberta	AB1012000	After hours/weekends	AB
British Columbia	BC1028700	24 hrs - 7 days per wk	BC
Manitoba	MB1007000	24 hrs - 7 days per wk	MB
New Brunswick	NK1004000	24 hrs - 7 days per wk	NK
Newfoundland	NF1004900	24 hrs - 7 days per wk	NF
Northwest Territory	NT1003500	24 hrs - 7 days per wk	NT
Nova Scotia	NS1005300	24 hrs - 7 days per wk	NS
Ontario	ON4540000	24 hrs - 7 days per wk	ON
Prince Edward Island	PE1000800	24 hrs - 7 days per wk	PE
Quebec	PQ4004700	24 hrs - 7 days per wk	PQ
Saskatchewan	SN1011700	24 hrs - 7 days per wk	SN
Yukon Territory	YT1001500	24 hrs - 7 days per wk	YT

Receiving driver license information from Canada and the various provinces and territories is no different than receiving the same type information from states of the United States in that the response formats are not standardized or uniform.

Different terminology is used, information is presented in different order, date of birth is recorded differently, and status codes and license type varies among the various provinces and territories.

Users may inquire into the Canadian help files in order to gain insight and interpretation for codes, etc. as Nlets users do for various state information.

Vehicle Registration Files (XQ/XR)

Vehicle Registration Files - General

This inquiry will result in a check of the province/territory registration file AND CPIC's Vehicle file.

The user may search on either license number or VIN.

Note that LIY and LIT are not used for Canadian vehicle registration inquiries.

A single vehicle registration query (XQ) may result in both vehicle registration responses from the province/territory files (XR) and CPIC Vehicle file responses (VR).

All inquiries to Canada can include the optional fields of reason code (RSN/) indicating the reason for the inquiry and the person/property in-sight code (PPS/) indicating whether the person or property is in-sight of the officer actually making or requesting the information.

Vehicle File Access

An inquiry generated from a vehicle registration query (XQ) will interrogate the CPIC vehicle file. It will be as though you sent a vehicle file query (VQ) to Canada.

Vehicle Registration Files - Inquiry Field Requirements (XQ)

Nlets standard header, sender ORI, and 2 character province/territory code followed by the elements below.

The vehicle registration query (XQ) has the following requirements.

XML Entry:	Legacy Entry:	Field Size:	Data Requirements:	Translation:
<j:VehicleRegistrationPlateID>	LIC/	1-10	Alpha/numeric	Identify license plate number.
OR
<j:VehicleID>	VIN/	Max. 17	Alpha/numeric	Vehicle ID #.
Optional
<n:ReasonCode>	RSN/	1	Single letter code: N, F, V, T, S or H.	Identify reason code. N - Narcotics F - Fraud (includes counterfeit documents) V - Violent crimes (incl. robbery, murder, rape, bombing, etc.) T - Traffic violations S - Theft H - Humanitarian
<n:SightedIndicator>	PPS/	1	Must be Y or N for text. True or False for XML.	Identify "in-sight" code.

Vehicle Registration Files - Responses (XR/VR)

There are two types of responses that will result from a "XQ" inquiry:

Vehicle file response (VR)
Province/territory response (XR).

Vehicle File (VR)

Since a VQ generates an inquiry of the CPIC Vehicle file, the user will be receiving responses from the Vehicle file.

Note the following important requirements below for Vehicle File transactions:

Once it has been confirmed that the vehicle is the correct vehicle reported to be in question,
and the status of such vehicle as reported by the CPIC system is current and correct, the
vehicle can be detained and/or impounded pending specific instructions from Washington D.C., Interpol.

The locating agency must immediately contact Washington INTERPOL for further
instructions regarding the vehicle.

In the event a vehicle is reported as being under observation, the inquiring
officer should take no action. This information is provided solely for officer safety.
Subjects present or associated with the vehicle must not be notified that the vehicle is
reported under observation by the CPIC system.
The inquiring agency must contact Washington INTERPOL for further instructions
regarding the vehicle and/or occupants of such vehicle.

Vehicle Registration Files - Province/Territory (XR)

Only six provinces in Canada house their automated vehicle registration files. They are:

Quebec
Ontario
Alberta
British Columbia
Saskatchewan
New Brunswick

All other provincial and territorial vehicle registration files are automated by CPIC thus inquiries to these provinces or territories will result in automated responses from CPIC rather than the provinces or territories.

When sending an "XQ" to a province or territory you will receive:

Vehicle file check on the CPIC vehicle file. Vehicle registration check, either from CPIC or, for those six provinces named above, directly from their file.

For those provinces that provide their own registration information, a message will indicate that the query is being processed. For those provinces that have their registration information on CPIC, the second part of the response will contain the registration information.

Note: There may be instances when the user sent an "XQ" and received only a "VR". This is because CPIC held the file and returned a single response with both the hot file response as well as the registration information.

The Canadian interface system will wait approximately 120 minutes for a response from the external R.O. system.

If no responses are forthcoming the system will return a canned message to the querying agency which states:

* ABOVE PROVINCIAL RO/DL SYSTEM RESPONSE DELAYED AT THIS TIME, IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 2 HOURS, PLEASE RESUBMIT *

Receiving vehicle registration information from Canada and the various provinces and territories is no different than receiving the same type information from states of the United States in that the response formats are not standardized or uniform.

Different terminology is used, information is presented in different order, and status codes and license type varies among the various provinces and territories.

Users may inquire into the Canadian help files in order to gain insight and interpretation for codes, etc. as Nlets users do today for various state information.

Article File (CAQ/CAR)

Article File - General

This information is provided by the CPIC file. There may also be occasions when the article record is associated with other records on the CPIC system. These will be returned as a part of the initial response.

Once the user has confirmed that the article is the correct article reported to be in question and the status of such article, as reported by the CPIC system, is current and correct, no official action may be taken without first contacting Washington D.C., Interpol for assistance regarding disposition of the article.

States must not programmatically generate inquiries to the Canadian Article File based on routine inquiries to their state stolen article file or NCIC's stolen article file.

All inquiries to Canada can include the optional fields of reason code (RSN/) indicating the reason for the inquiry and the person/property in-sight code (PPS/) indicating whether the person or property is in-sight of the officer actually making or requesting the information.

Types of Article Information Available

Following are the different types of information that are available to United States users from the CPIC file. They are as follows:

Stolen
Lost or To be Seized
Recovered or Seized
Pawned

"Pawned" status is defined as follows:

"items of property which have been accepted from individuals as collateral for loans, and, for the purposes of the CPIC Property File, articles obtained by direct purchases where there is reason to believe they may have been stolen."

Article File - Query Field Requirements (CAQ)

The 2 character destination code will always be "CN" for article queries (CAQ).

The serial number field size, 23 characters, is available for input.

The serial number must be a unique number and not simply a model, stock, style, or part number. Do not enter "UNKNOWN" in this field.

No imbedded spaces or blanks are allowed.

IMPORTANT: If more than 16 characters are entered, the system will also search for matches on the first 16 characters and for matches on the last 16 characters in addition to the full serial number.

The table below describes the required entries.

XML Entry:	Legacy Entry:	Field Size:	Data Requirements:	Translation:
<j:PropertySerialID>	SER/	Max. 23	Alpha/numeric	Serial number
<j:PropertyTypeCode>	TYP/	2	2 character Type Code	Type Field: AA - domestic appliances, e.g. stoves, washers. BI - non-motorized bicycles, e.g. mountain bikes, tandems, 10-speeds. NOTE: Motorized bikes are in the Vehicle File. BU - Bulk entries that have no unique identifiers, but are the same commodity and description, e.g., large shipment of cigarettes HH - Household property, e.g. rugs, furniture. JE - jewelry, e.g. watches, rings. MI - musical instruments, e.g. violins, guitars. MT - machinery and tools, e.g. electrical motors, lawn mowers. NOTE: Lawn mowers capable of carrying an operator are in the Vehicle File. OM - office machines and equipment, e.g. computers. PA - personal accessories, e.g. hearing aids, luggage. PE - photographic equipment, e.g. camera, enlargers. PH - telephones, wireless communication devices, i.e. cellular phones, Blackberry and PDA RA - radio, TV, sound- reproducing equipment, e.g. VCR's. SC - scientific, optical and measuring devices, e.g. binoculars. SP - sporting goods, hobby equipment, e.g. skis, model aircraft, scuba equipment. OT - all other articles, e.g. animals, vending machines, precious metals such as gold bars, uniquely identifiable gun barrels.

Article Files - Response (CAR)

The user is responsible for contacting Washington D.C., Interpol prior to confirming the article hit with the entering Canadian agency.

The destination address of the agency that entered the record may be found in the record itself but it is incomplete. It will state "Entered by:" followed by the name and 7 character address of the agency.

The user must add two zeroes to the end of the Canadian address to create the correct destination address.

Article File Response - No Record

This occurs when no matching record was found in the Canadian file.

Article File Response - Possible Hit

If a possible hit has been made on the Canadian Article File, the user determines that the article matches the article described in the record. He must confirm that the record is still valid with the entering agency, and must contact Washington D.C., Interpol, prior to taking any action.

Gun File (CGQ/CGR)

Gun File - General

The CPIC file provides this information. There may also be occasions when the gun record is associated with other records on the CPIC system. These will be returned as a part of the initial response.

Each inquiry will interrogate both the stolen gun file as well as the Canadian gun registration file. Note: Will receive one response (CGR) from CPIC and a second CGR from CFRO.

The term "gun" means any barreled weapon that can discharge a bullet or other missile, or any imitation of such a weapon. The types of weapons include:

Revolver or pistol
Rifle
Shotgun
Flint/cap/matchlock muzzleloader
Automatic weapons, e.g. machine guns/pistols
Signal flare, rocket or gas guns
Air guns (rifle or pistol).

Once it has been confirmed that the gun is the correct gun reported to be in question and the status of such gun, as reported by the CPIC system, is current and correct, the locating agency must contact Washington D.C., Interpol prior to taking any action, sending a hit confirmation, and/or seizing the gun.

States must not programmatically generate inquiries to the Canadian Gun File based on routine inquiries to their state stolen gun file or NCIC's stolen gun file.

On all inquiries to Canada the user must include the serial number (SER) and type (TYP). Optional fields include reason code (RSN/) indicating the reason for the inquiry and the person/property in-sight code (PPS/) indicating whether the person or property is in-sight of the officer actually making or requesting the information.

Types of Gun Information Available

Following are the different types of information that are available to United States users from the CPIC file. They are:

Stolen
Lost or Missing
Recovered
Pawned or loaned

Pawned or loaned status is defined as follows: "guns which have been accepted from individuals as collateral for loans, and, for the purposes of the CPIC Gun File, guns obtained by direct purchases where there is reason to believe they may have been stolen."

Gun File - Query Field Requirements (CGQ)

The destination code for all Gun File queries (CGQ) is “CN”.

The serial number field size, 23 characters, is available for input. The serial number must be a unique number and not simply a model, stock, style, or part number. No imbedded spaces or blanks are allowed.

IMPORTANT: If more than 11 characters are entered, the system will also search for matches on the first 11 characters and for matches on the last 11 characters in addition to the full serial number. The Gun File query (CGQ) will have the following format. All fields are required in addition to the standard Nlets header.

XML Entry:	Legacy Entry:	Field Size:	Data Requirements:	Translation:
<j:PropertySerialID>	SER/	Max. 23	Alpha/numeric	Serial number.
<j:PropertyTypeCode>	TYP/	2	2 character Type Code	Type Field SG - shotgun RI - rifle RW - restricted weapon OT - other only

Gun File - Response (CGR)

The user is responsible for contacting Washington D.C., Interpol prior to confirming the gun hit with the entering Canadian agency.

The destination address of the agency that entered the record may be found in the record itself but it is incomplete. It will state "Entered by:" followed by the name and 7-character address of the agency.

The user must add two zeroes to the end of the Canadian address to create the correct destination address. Proceed through the normal hit confirmation process as with any other stolen gun.

Gun File Response - No Record (CGR)

This occurs when no matching record was found in the Canadian file.

Gun File Response - Possible Hit (CGR)

If a possible hit has been made on the Canadian Gun File and the user determines that the gun matches the gun described in the record, the user must contact Washington D.C., Interpol prior to confirming that the record is still valid with the entering agency.

Gun Registration File Questions

For questions on information received from the registration file, contact:

RCMP’s Firearms Registration and Administration Section 73 Leikin Drive, Mailstop #6, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0R2 ORI: ON801900 Phone: 1-800-731-4000 ext: 1055 Fax: (877) 699-4928

Securities File (CSQ/CSR)

Securities File - General

This information is provided by the CPIC file. There may also be occasions when the securities record is associated with other records on the CPIC system. These will be returned as a part of the initial response.

Once Interpol has confirmed that the security is the correct security reported to be in question and the status of such security, as reported by the CPIC system, is current and correct, it can be impounded pending specific instructions from Washington D.C., Interpol. The locating agency must contact Washington INTERPOL for assistance regarding disposition of the security.

States must not programmatically generate inquiries to the Canadian Securities file based on routine inquiries to their state stolen securities file or NCIC's stolen securities file.

All inquiries to Canada can include the optional fields of reason code (RSN/) indicating the reason for the inquiry and the person/property in-sight code (PPS/) indicating whether the person or property is in-sight of the officer actually making or requesting the information.

Types of Securities Information Available

Following are the different types of securities information that are available to United States users from the CPIC file. They are:

Stolen
Lost or Missing
Pawned or loaned

The destination code for all Securities File queries (CSQ) is "CN".

The serial number field size, 23 characters, is available for input. No imbedded spaces or blanks are allowed.

IMPORTANT: If you type in more than 16 characters, the system will also search for matches on the first 16 characters and for matches on the last 16 characters in addition to the full serial number.

The inquiry transaction will have the following format.

XML Entry:	Legacy Entry:	Field Size:	Data Requirements:	Translation:
<nc:ItemSerialIdentification> <nc:IdentificationID> </nc:ItemSerialIdentification>	SER/	Max. 23	Alpha/numeric	Serial number.

SB - federal, provincial and municipal bonds and debentures ST - stocks. VD - vehicle documents. OT - all other security documents.

Securities File - Responses (CSR)

The user is responsible for contacting Washington D.C., Interpol prior to confirming the security hit with the entering Canadian agency.

The destination address of the agency that entered the record may be found in the record itself but it is incomplete. It will state "Entered by:" followed by the name and 7 character address of the agency. You must add two zeroes to the end of the Canadian address to create the correct destination address. You will then proceed through the normal hit confirmation process as you would with any other stolen security.

Securities File Response - No Record

This occurs when no matching record was found in the Canadian file.

Securities File Response - Possible Hit

If a possible hit has been made on the Canadian Securities File and the user determines that the security matches the security described in the record the user must contact Washington D.C., Interpol to confirm that the record is still valid with the entering agency prior to taking any action.

Boat File (CBQ/CBR)

Boat File - General

This information is provided by the CPIC stolen boat file. If you need registration information send an administrative request to CPIC (ORI = ON1000000) to request a manual search. A boat is defined as a watercraft, which may be a small open vessel, a large vessel, or ship, propelled by oars, sails or engine(s).

Once it has been confirmed that the boat is the correct boat reported to be in question and the status of such boat, as reported by the CPIC system, is current and correct, Washington D.C., Interpol must be contact prior to the boat being impounded. The locating agency must contact Washington Interpol for hit confirmation assistance and for information regarding disposition of the boat.

Types of Boat Information Available

Following are the different types of information that are available to United States users from the CPIC file. They are:

Stolen
Lost or Missing
Pawned
Recovered
Seized
To be Seized

Boat File Query Format (CBQ)

The 2 character destination code must be "CN" for all CBQ messages to Canada.

At least one of the five key fields must be included in the inquiry (i.e. LIC, BHN, REG, NAM, SAILNO). To query by Sail Number, you may input the information into any of the existing fields.

Users may also query the Boat File for information on stolen motors. The inquiry is made by serial number and requires a type code.

When an inquiry is made on any of the five items, Canada will search all five indices. For example, if the query is on LIC/1234 and there is a boat with a hull number of "1234" it will be returned. The Canadian system does this to compensate for human error in recognizing which field is which.

Canada uses the prefix "HIN" for hull number. In the United States "BHN" is used. They are synonymous.

The control field is permissible for all messages to Canada.

The inquiry transaction will have the following format.

XML Entry:	Legacy Entry:	Field Size:	Data Requirements:	Translation:
<j:VehicleRegistrationPlateID>	LIC/	1-10	Alpha/numeric	License plate number.
OR
<j:BoatHullID>	BHN/	Max. 12	Alpha/numeric	Identify hull ID number. CPIC will use HIN for this field in their response.
OR
<j:RegistrationID>	REG/	1-10	Alpha/numeric	Registration number of large vessels that do not have to be licensed but must be registered.
OR
<j:PropertyOwnerAppliedID>	NAM/	Max. 13	Alphabetic	Name of boat on hull or stern.
OR
<j:PropertySerialID>	SER/	1-18	Alpha/numeric	Boat motor serial number.
<j:PropertyTypeText>	TYP/	5	Type Code	Type code: INB OUTB INOUT OTHER

Boat File - Responses (CBR)

The user is responsible for contacting Washington D.C., Interpol prior to confirming the boat hit with the entering Canadian agency.

The destination address of the agency that entered the record may be found in the record itself but it is incomplete. It will state "Entered by:" followed by the name and 7 character address of the agency.

The user must add two zeroes to the end of the Canadian address to create the correct destination address.

Boat File Response - No Record (CBR)

This occurs when no matching record was found in the Canadian file.

Boat File Response - Possible Hit (CBR)

If a possible hit has been made on the Canadian Boat File, the user determines whether the boat matches the boat described in the record. He must confirm within Washington D.C., Interpol that the record is still valid with the entering agency prior to taking any action.

Criminal History File (IQ/IR, FQ/FR, AQ/AR)

Criminal History File - General

The process for accessing Canadian criminal history records from the RCMP is the same as accessing criminal records in the United States, IQ/FQ/AQ. There are a few differences in the formats however.

Canada's unique number assigned to an individual based on fingerprints is the "FPS" number.
Canada has an optional field to access additional records when multiple hits on name inquiries are received.
The destination is always "CN".

Only agencies that are allowed access to the Triple I file are allowed access to the Canadian criminal history file.

The Identification Data Bank at the Canadian Police Information Centre(CPIC) contains two categories of criminal record data which may be queried by U. S. agencies.

Criminal name index containing an index of names and identity information on one or more individuals.

Full criminal record, containing the conviction history.

If you have questions about the accuracy or timeliness of the information in a criminal record file, contact the RCMP Records Compilation Section at ORI = ON1007100.

Criminal Name Index Query (IQ)

The "IQ" is utilized when the agency does not have the FPS Canadian identification number. (The FPS number is Canada's version of the FBI number; a unique number assigned to each criminal record and backed up by fingerprints.)

Response to this type of inquiry will provide personal identification information of one or multiple individuals.
Normally, CPIC will return the three records that achieved the highest score.
The user will have the option of retrieving additional records using the "RAR" optional field on a subsequent request.
The user may request that more than three records be returned on the initial inquiry by including the "RAR" field in the initial inquiry with the number of records (up to 10) the user wishes to see.

Once the identification record(s) have been returned it is at the option of the inquirer to select the individual the user is interested in and submit an "FQ" in order to retrieve the full criminal record.

This works very much like NCIC's QH/QR or Nlets interstate IQ/FQ procedures.

The Criminal Name Index query (IQ) will have the following format.

XML Entry:	Legacy Entry:	Field Size:	Data Requirements:	Translation:
<n:PurposeCode>	PUR/	1	Must be C, E, F, D, J or S	Identify purpose code. See Introduction Page for more information.
<n:Attention>	ATN/	30	Alphabetic	Identify attention field. Name of requestor.
<j:PersonFullName>	NAM/	Max. 30	Alphabetic	Full name; format is last name, comma, space after comma is optional) first name, space, middle initial or name.
<j:PersonBirthDate>	DOB/	8	Express as ccyy-mm-dd	Date of Birth.
<j:PersonSexCode>	SEX/	1	M or F	M = male, F = female
</tr> </table> This query will check CPIC criminal history index and return candidates. Note that this initial request will return the three records that achieve the highest score. If the response indicates that there are additional identity records on file, the requestor may retrieve these by using the "RAR" field in a subsequent inquiry. <table border="1"> <tr> <th align="left"> Note: If the inquirer wanted to retrieve more than 3 records on the initial inquiry he could <br>include the "RAR" field in the inquiry with only a number indicating the number of records <br>to be retrieved. </th> </tr> </table> ====Criminal Name Index Response (IR)==== When the user queries the CPIC criminal history file by name he will receive identity information only.

It provides identity information on the subject and an FPS number. If the user wishes to access the full criminal record he must submit the FPS number using the "FQ" message format. If there are more than 3 identification records that match your name inquiry only the three highest scoring records will be returned. In order to retrieve additional records, up to 10, you must send the standard "IQ" message with the optional "RAR" field as the last data field. <table border="1"> <tr> <th align="left">Note: Commas must separate the above values</th> </tr> </table> ====Explanation of Fields==== There are some fields that may be unfamiliar to the recipient of Canadian identity records.

This query will check CPIC criminal history file and return all criminal history that matches the FPS number.

Full Criminal Record Response (FR)

This record may be returned when the user submits an FPS number. All criminal record information in the CPIC file will be returned (with the exception of that information not authorized to be sent internationally).

Because RCMP Identification Services must review all records prior to sending them internationally, users may receive an interim message notifying them that they have realized a hit and it is being verified by the RCMP Identification Services Directorate.

The criminal record is laid out in three columns: The first has the date in CCYY-MM-DD format and the place of the incident. The second column has the charges. The third the disposition.

There are some fields or abbreviations that may be unfamiliar to the Nlets users.

Below is an explanation of some of the more commonly used terms.
Should you have difficulty deciphering any of the information you may contact
RCMP HQ Forensic Science & Identification Services – Criminal Records Information Management System at ORI = ON1007100.

Field	Explanation
Q CR LANG:E	The "Q CR" are control information unique to Canada. The "LANG:E" indicates that the requested language of the record is in English.
LVL:2	This indicates the amount of information provided by CPIC and is used by their system.
REM:	This is a remarks field used by the Canadian system to exchange information. It will contain a control number, the ORI of the US agency, the Nlets control field, and the attention (ATN) field.
CC	An abbreviation for "Criminal code". It will generally be after several numbers in the 2nd column of the record.
TORONTO PF	In the second column, the agency along with the case (1234-88) number is provided if available.

Non-retrievable Criminal History Record

The RCMP has some unique dissemination requirements for records transmitted internationally. Therefore it is possible to retrieve a valid identity record, request the full record using the FPS number and receive a message that states that the record matching the FPS number submitted contains only information that can not be disseminated outside of Canada.

Supplemental Criminal History Inquiry and Response (AQ/AR)

The AQ format is not accepted by Canada. All information is provided on the initial FQ query.

Administrative Messages

Administrative Messages - General

Nlets users may direct administrative messages to up to 5 destinations on the CPIC network.

Administrative messages must include:

Reason for the request
Name of the requester

General Administrative Messages

These messages will generally be for investigative reasons of a broad nature, to request driver license information from non-automated provinces or to send broadcast messages of international interest.

Each message must contain the reason for the request and the requestor's name. If an address is unknown, ORION may be used to obtain the Canadian address code.

To broadcast an "AM" message, it must be addressed to "CN" for a country-wide broadcast.

Only narrative messages dealing with urgent operational police matters will be considered for nationwide broadcast in Canada.

Canada has NO facility for broadcasting messages to individual provinces therefore "AM" messages to 2-character province or territory should not be sent. These will be reviewed by INTERPOL in the U.S. prior to forwarding to Canada.

Access Non Automated Driver License Information

Driver license information may be accessed by name and date of birth, from the provinces and territories that do not provide automated responses by name and DOB. This non-automated information must be requested using an "AM" message.

ORION

Canada has added records for their agencies to the NLETS ORION file. You may access it in the same manner as you would a U.S. agency using the two characters "CN" for all provinces and territories as the destination.

All Canadian ORIs are 7 characters but two zeros are added to the end to make them 9 character ORIs.

HELP Files

There have been several HELP files assigned to Canada to assist the users in accessing this interface. The user should recognize that the RCMP supports many of the files that are accessible through the interface thus there will only be a single HELP file for these.

There will however be a HELP file for each province and territory for driver license and vehicle registration information.

Each province/territory in Canada has the following HELP files: XXLICHELP = one for each province/territory XXOLNHELP =one for each province/territory Where XX = province/territory code.

Single HELP records exist for the following information:

HELP File	Explanation
CNGENHELP	General help information on Canada
CNLICHELP	General Vehicle Registration help information.
CNOLNHELP	General Driver License help information.
CNPERHELP	Wanted Persons help information
CNVEHHELP	Stolen Vehicles help information.
CNSIRHELP	Criminal History help information
CNGUNHELP	Stolen Gun help information.
CNSECHELP	Stolen Securities help information.
CNARTHELP	Stolen Article help information.
CNBOTHELP	Boat/Motor help information.

NIEM

Communicating with Canada NIEM Specifications

This section describes NIEM format and provides examples for Canadian Person File queries and responses (WQ/WR), Canadian Vehicle File queries and responses (VQ/VR), Canadian Driver License File queries and responses (UQ/UR/WR), Canadian Vehicle Registration queries and responses (XQ/XR/VR), Canadian Article File queries and responses (CAQ/CAR), Canadian Gun File queries and responses (CGQ/CGR), Canadian Securities File queries and responses (CSQ/CSR), Canadian Boat File queries and responses (CBQ/CBR) & Canadian Criminal History queries and responses (IQ/IR/FQ/FR/AQ/AR).

All Nlets NIEM messages must be based on the Nlets NIEM Message Structure and include the standard Nlets XML Header as detailed in Message Structure. The NIEM header and hierarchy of the elements in this section have been omitted to avoid redundancy. The associated schemas and instances should be consulted to determine the correct XPaths of the elements.

Canadian Person File query notes

The destination code for WQ messages must be "CN".

Canadian Vehicle File query notes

For inquiries on a license number, a 2 character province code must be used as the destination.

For inqiries on a VIN, the 2 character destination "CN" must be used.

Canadian Driver License File query notes

Requests to Canada for driver license information must include name, date of birth, reason code and person/property code.

The OLN field is optional on inquiries to Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Ontario.

If the OLN is not included in the inquiries to these provinces, the search of the driver license file will be by name and DOB.
If the OLN is included, the search of the driver license file for these four provinces will be by OLN.

For all other provinces and territories the OLN, as well as the other five fields are required and the search of the driver license file will be by OLN. This inquiry will also result in a check of the Person file located on the CPIC system.

The search of the Person file will be by name/date of birth.

As a result of a single Driver License Query (UQ) the user will receive both Driver License Responses (URs) and Person File Responses (WRs). These are responses from the provinces/ territories (Driver License Response, UR) and CPIC Person file (Person File Response, WR).

When sending a Driver License Query (UQ) to an automated province, the user will receive:

Person file check (includes any notification of driver license prohibition)
Check of the Province's driver license file.

When sending a Driver License Query (UQ) to a non-automated province or a territory, the user will receive:

Person file check (includes notification of driver license prohibition)
Driver License Response (UR) message indicating that the province is non-automated and, if information OTHER THAN STATUS is needed, send an "AM" message directly to the province/territory for a manual check. The message will also contain the address of the province or territory as well as a copy of the inquiry that was sent.

Canadian Vehicle Registration query notes

As a result of a single Vehicle Registration Query (XQ), the user will receive both Vehicle Registration Responses from the province/territory files (XR) and Vehicle Responses from the CPIC Vehicle file (VRs).

Only six provinces in Canada house their automated vehicle registration files. They are as follows:

Quebec
Ontario
Alberta
New Brunswick
British Columbia
Saskatchewan

All other provincial and territorial vehicle registration files are automated by CPIC thus inquiries to these provinces or territories will result in automated responses from CPIC rather than the provinces or territories.

When sending a Vehicle Registration Query (XQ) to a province or territory you will receive:

A vehicle file check on the CPIC vehicle file.
A vehicle registration check, either from CPIC or, for those four provinces named above, directly from their file.

For those provinces that provide their own registration information, a message will indicate that the query is being processed.

Canadian Article File query notes

Queries must be sent to destination "CN".

The user is responsible for confirming the article hit with the entering Canadian agency.

The "YQ" message and format is to be used for confirming all hits on the article file.

The destination address of the agency that entered the record may be found in the record itself but it is incomplete. It will state "Entered by:" followed by the name and 7 character address of the agency.

The user must add two zeroes to the end of the Canadian address to create the correct destination address. The user will then proceed through the normal hit confirmation process as with any other stolen article.

Canadian Gun File query notes

The CPIC file provides the Gun File information. There may also be occasions when the gun record is associated with other records on the CPIC system. These will be returned as a part of the initial response. Each inquiry will interrogate both the stolen gun file as well as the Canadian gun registration file. Queries must be sent to destination "CN".

The user is responsible for confirming the gun hit with the entering Canadian agency.

The "YQ" message and format is to be used for confirming all hits on the gun file.

The destination address of the agency that entered the record may be found in the record itself but it is incomplete. It will state "Entered by:" followed by the name and 7 character address of the agency.

The user must add two zeroes to the end of the Canadian address to create the correct destination address.

The user will then proceed through the normal hit confirmation process as with any other stolen gun.

Canadian Securities File query notes

The CPIC file provides the Securities File information. Queries must be sent to destination "CN".

The user is responsible for confirming the security hit with the entering Canadian agency.

The "YQ" message and format is to be used for confirming all hits on the securities file.

The destination address of the agency that entered the record may be found in the record itself but it is incomplete. It will state "Entered by:" followed by the name and 7 character address of the agency.

The user must add two zeroes to the end of the Canadian address to create the correct destination address. The user will then proceed through the normal hit confirmation process as with any other stolen security.

Canadian Boat File query notes

This information is provided by the CPIC stolen boat file.

If the user needs registration information, send an administrative request to CPIC (ORI = ON1000000) to initiate a manual search.

A boat is defined as a watercraft, which may be a small open vessel, a large vessel, or ship, propelled by oars, sails or engine(s).

Users may also query the Boat File for information on stolen motors. The inquiry is made by serial number and requires a type code.

Canadian Criminal History query notes

The process for accessing Canadian criminal history records from the RCMP is the same as accessing criminal records in the United States, IQ/FQ/AQ. There are a few differences in the formats however.

First, the Canadian system use a unique number assigned to an individual based on fingerprints, the "FPS" number.
Second, the Canadian system has an optional field to access additional records when multiple hits on name inquiries are received.
Third, the destination is always "CN".

Only agencies that are allowed access to the Triple I file are allowed access to the Canadian criminal history file.

The "IQ" is utilized when the agency does not have the FPS Canadian identification number. (The FPS number is Canada's version of the FBI number; a unique number assigned to each criminal record and backed up by fingerprints.)

Response to this type of inquiry will provide personal identification information of one or multiple individuals. Normally, CPIC will return the three records that achieved the highest score.

Once the identification record(s) have been returned it is at the option of the inquirer to select the individual the user is interested in and submit an "FQ" in order to retrieve the full criminal record.

Legacy (DEPRECATED)

Communicating with Canada

This section provides detailed specifications for Legacy formats and provides Legacy examples that allow Nlets members to implement the necessary programming and perform the required training to obtain and use information from Canada.

As a part of this interface, users within Canada also will be obtaining information from users in the United States. Since requests from Canada will conform to formats currently in use, states must be able to accept and send to Canadian ORIs.

General Rules

The following are general rules that users must follow when communicating with Canada.

Canadian Addressing Code

All codes are 9 characters with the first 2 characters representing the province or territory and the last two characters zero.

Note that although NCIC has assigned ORIs to Canadian agencies, these are not always used by Canada for this interface. These codes are listed in Canada's ORI file called SAFEFILE. It is accessed using the Nlets TQ message.

At present, you cannot access Canadian ORIs by location. Inquiries can be done by ORI only. Use the two-character code "CN" as the destination address for the TQ.

Message Size

Maximum message size is 14,400 characters per message.

Special Requirements

There are a few special requirements imposed by the international nature of this interface. Details on these may be found within the specifications for each message.

Reason Code (RSN) (Optional)

Following is a list of the authorized reason codes.

Reason for Request	Code
Narcotics	N
Fraud (includes counterfeit documents)	F
Violent crimes (includes robbery, murder, rape, bombing, etc.)	V
Traffic Violations	T
Theft	S
Humanitarian	H

Person/Property in Sight (PPS/) (Optional)

The user will indicate "in sight" by inserting a "Y" in this field (e.g. PPS/Y).

If the inquiry is for investigative purposes or the subject of the message, for whatever reason, is not present or available place an "N" in this field (e.g., PPS/N).

Error Messages

All error messages generated by Canada as a result of a fixed format inquiry will be returned to the requester as a response to the inquiry.

For example, an error on a driver license inquiry (message type = UQ) will be returned as a "UR" with a self-explanatory error message.

Status Messages

All status messages relating to the condition of the Canadian interface will be sent as an "SM" type message (as they are on the current Nlets network).

Persons File (WQ/WR)

Persons File Query Specifications (WQ)

The Persons File Query (WQ) must include the following:

WQ. (Sender ORI).("CN" Code).TXT
NAM/(Name).
DOB/(Date of Birth).

Note: No period after the last field.

Person File Response Specifications (WR)

The inquirer will receive either a hit or a no record response from the CPIC Person File.

All hit confirmations on a person (or any other hot file hits from Canada) must be handled as any other hits. That is, the inquiring agency will contact the entering agency just as they do with NCIC.

When sending a YQ to Canada insert "NONE" in the NIC number field. (e.g., NIC/NONE.)

Vehicle File (VQ/VR)

Vehicle File Query Specifications (VQ/VR)

All fields are required (with either LIC/or VIN/).

For inquiries on license number, a 2 character province code must be used as the destination.

Vehicle File Response - Possible Hit (VR)

A response indicating a possible hit has been made on the Canadian Person File requires that the inquiring agency must confirm the hit with the entering agency.

Driver License Files (UQ/UR)

Driver License Specifications (UQ/UR)

Requests to Canada for driver license information must include NAM, DOB and SEX. The Optional fields are RSN and PPS.

The OLN field is optional on inquiries to Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec and Ontario.

If the OLN is not included in the inquiries to these provinces, the search of the driver license file will be by name and DOB.
If the OLN is included, the search of the driver license file for these four provinces will be by OLN.

For all other provinces and territories the OLN, as well as the other five fields are required and the search of the driver license file will be by OLN.

This inquiry will also result in a check of the Person file located on the CPIC system. The search of the Person file will be by NAM/DOB.

As a result of a single Driver License Query (UQ) the user will receive both Driver License Responses (URs) and Person File Responses (WRs). These are responses from the provinces/ territories (Driver License Response, UR) and CPIC Person file (Person File Response, WR).

The Driver License File query (UQ) format is described in the table below.

Entry	# Char.	Explanation

Person/property in-sight	1	Must be Y or N.

Note: All fields are required with the exception of OLN when a search on name and DOB is needed from the four provinces listed above. No period after the last field.

Person File Access

The inquiry generated from a Driver License Query (UQ) to the CPIC Person file will be by NAM/DOB. It will be as though you sent a Person File Query (WQ) to Canada.

An inquiry result in two inquiries to Canada; one to the CPIC Person file and one to British Columbia.

British Columbia will search their file on the name and DOB since OLN has been left out and provide the driver license status information.
The CPIC Person file will provide Suspended/prohibited driver status for all other provinces/ territories.

An inquiry addressed to Nova Scotia, a non-automated province. The message will generate an inquiry to the CPIC Person file and return suspended/prohibited license information. However, other driver license information is not available via a Driver License Query (UQ) since Nova Scotia is not automated. Note, that the OLN is a required field for this province.

Driver License Responses (UR/WR)

There are two types of responses that will result from a Driver License Query (UQ):

Person file response (WR) and
Province/ territory response (UR).

Since a Driver License Query (UQ) generates an inquiry of the CPIC Person file, the user will be receiving responses from the Person file (WR).

The response will include suspended or prohibited driver status information for all province/territories except British Columbia who will provide the information from their own file.

For those provinces that provide their own registration information, a message will indicate that the query is being processed.

Note: The phrase "RO/DL TRANSACTION BEING PROCESSED" will only be received when a "UQ" was sent to one of the four automated provinces; British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario or Quebec.

Province Driver License File Responses (UR)

Only four provinces in Canada have automated driver license files.

These four provinces also provide a search of either name and DOB, or OLN depending on whether the inquirer includes the OLN in their inquiry. They are as follows:

Quebec
Ontario
Alberta
British Columbia

When sending a Driver License Query (UQ) to an automated province, the user will receive:

Person file check (includes any notification of driver license prohibition) Check of the Province's driver license file.

When sending a Driver License Query (UQ) to a non-automated province or a territory, the user will receive:

Person file check (includes notification of driver license prohibition) Driver License Response (UR) message indicating that the province is non- automated and, if information OTHER THAN STATUS is needed, send an "AM" message directly to the province/territory for a manual check. The message will also contain the address of the province or territory as well as a copy of the inquiry that was sent.

Vehicle Registration File (XQ/XR)

General requirements include the following:

The Vehicle Registration Query will result in a check of the province/territory registration file AND CPIC's Vehicle file.
Search on either license number or VIN.
License Year (LIY) and License Type (LIT) are not used for Canadian vehicle registration inquiries.
As a result of a single Vehicle Registration Query (XQ), the user will receive both Vehicle Registration Responses from the province/territory files (XR) and Vehicle Responses from the CPIC Vehicle file (VRs).
All inquiries to Canada can include the optional fields of reason code (RSN/) indicating the reason for the inquiry and the person/property in-sight code (PPS/) indicating whether the person or property is in-sight of the officer actually making or requesting the information.

An inquiry generated from a Vehicle Registration Query (XQ) will interrogate the CPIC vehicle file. It will be as though you sent a Vehicle File Query (VQ) to Canada.

For those provinces that provide their own registration information, a message will indicate that the query is being processed.

Vehicle Registration File Query Specifications (XQ)

The Vehicle Registration Query (XQ) will have the following format:

Entry	# Char.	Explanation
XQ.	2	Message type followed by a period.
Sender ORI	9	Sender ORI followed by a period.
Destination code	2	2 character province/territory code followed by a period.
TXT	3	Fixed filed prefix to beginning of message.
THEN EITHER
LIC/	4	Prefix to identify license plate.
License number	1-10	License number followed by a period.
OR
VIN/	4	Prefix to identify VIN.
Vehicle ID #	Max.17	Vehicle ID # followed by a period.
Optional
RSN/	4	Prefix to identify reason code.
Reason code	1	N - Narcotics F - Fraud (includes counterfeit documents) V - Violent crimes (incl. robbery, murder, rape, bombing, etc.) T - Traffic violations S - Theft H - Humanitarian, followed by a period.
PPS/	4	Prefix to identify "in-sight" code.
Person/property code in-sight	1	Must be Y or N.

Note: No period after the last field.

Vehicle File Responses (XR/VR)

There are two types of responses that will result from a Vehicle Registration Query (XQ):

Vehicle file response (VR)
Province/territory response (XR).

Vehicle File Response - CPIC (VR)

Since a Vehicle Query generates an inquiry of the CPIC Vehicle file, the user will be receiving responses from the Vehicle File.

Vehicle File Response - Province/Territory (XR)

Only six provinces in Canada house their automated vehicle registration files. They are as follows:

Quebec
Ontario
Alberta
New Brunswick
British Columbia
Saskatchewan

All other provincial and territorial vehicle registration files are automated by CPIC thus inquiries to these provinces or territories will result in automated responses from CPIC rather than the provinces or territories.

When sending a Vehicle Registration Query (XQ) to a province or territory you will receive:

A vehicle file check on the CPIC vehicle file.
A vehicle registration check, either from CPIC or, for those four provinces named above, directly from their file.

For those provinces that provide their own registration information, a message will indicate that the query is being processed.

Vehicle Registration Response Examples (VR/XR)

For those provinces that have their registration information on CPIC, the second part of the response will contain the registration information.

Note: The user may send an Vehicle Registration Query (XQ) and receive only a Vehicle Response (VR). This is because CPIC may hold the file and return a single response with both the hot file response as well as the registration information.

The Canadian interface system will wait approximately 30 minutes for a response from the external Registered Owner (RO) system. If no responses is forthcoming the system will return a canned message to the querying agency which states:

ABOVE PROVINCIAL RO/DL SYSTEM RESPONSE DELAYED AT THIS TIME, IF NO RESPONSE PLEASE RETRY IN 30 MINUTES

Article File (CAQ/CAR)

All inquiries to Canada can include the optional fields of reason code (RSN/) indicating the reason for the inquiry and the person/property in-sight code (PPS/) indicating whether the person or property is in-sight of the officer actually making or requesting the information.

Article File Inquiry Specifications (CAQ)

The specifications for article file queries include the following:

Only "CN" is allowed as an address for "CAQ".
The serial number field size, 23 characters, is available for input. However only 16 alpha/numeric characters will be stored and searched.
The serial number must be a unique number and not simply a model, stock, style, or part number. Do not enter "UNKNOWN" in this field.
No imbedded spaces or blanks are allowed.
IMPORTANT: If you type in more than 16 characters, the system only searches on the last 16 characters, not the first 16. Therefore if an article has more than 16 characters, the last 16 characters must be used for inquiring to the CPIC system in order to receive a valid search.

The Article File Query (CAQ) will have the following format:

Entry	# Char.	Explanation
CAQ.	3	Message type followed by a period.

Article File Response Specifications (CAR)

The user is responsible for confirming the article hit with the entering Canadian agency.

The "YQ" message and format is to be used for confirming all hits on the article file.

The destination address of the agency that entered the record may be found in the record itself but it is incomplete. It will state "Entered by:" followed by the name and 7 character address of the agency.

The user must add two zeroes to the end of the Canadian address to create the correct destination address. The user will then proceed through the normal hit confirmation process as with any other stolen article.

Gun File (CGQ/CGR)

The CPIC file provides this information. There may also be occasions when the gun record is associated with other records on the CPIC system. These will be returned as a part of the initial response. Each inquiry will interrogate both the stolen gun file as well as the Canadian gun registration file.

Gun Inquiry Specifications (CGQ)

On all inquiries to Canada the user must include the serial number (SER) and type (TYP). Optional fields are reason code (RSN/) indicating the reason for the inquiry and the person/property in-sight code (PPS/) indicating whether the person or property is in-sight of the officer actually making or requesting the information.

Only "CN" is allowed as an address for Gun File Queries (CGQ).
All fields are required.
No period after the last field.
IMPORTANT: The serial number field will accept 23 characters but only 11 characters are stored on the CPIC file.
When inquiring with more than 11 characters, the CPIC system will search on only the last 11 characters submitted, not the first 11.

The Gun File Query (CGQ) will have the following format:

The destination address of the agency that entered the record may be found in the record itself but it is incomplete. It will state "Entered by:" followed by the name and 7-character address of the agency.

The user must add two zeroes to the end of the Canadian address to create the correct destination address.

The user will then proceed through the normal hit confirmation process as with any other stolen gun.

Gun File Response - No Record (CGR)

This occurs when no matching record was found in the Canadian file.

Gun File Response - Possible Hit (CGR)

A possible hit has been made on the Canadian Gun File. If the user determines that the gun matches the gun described in the record he must confirm that the record is still valid with the entering agency prior to taking any action.

Securities File (CSQ/CSR)

Securities File Query Specifications (CSQ)

Securities File Queries (CSQ) may be made on four different combinations.

The type field must be included on all inquiries; however only certain types are allowed depending on what the user is searching the file. For example, if the user inquires on "issuer", only a type "ST" (TYP/ST) is permissible.

Below is a list of various data elements the user may inquire upon along with the allowable types in parentheses.

Serial # and type (all codes listed above)
Corporation name and type (SB,BD,MO,OT)
Issuer and type (ST)
Owner name and type (BD,ID,MO,PP,SB,VD,OT)

The Serial number, the Issuer, the Corporation name, or the owner name and the appropriate type are required.

The RSN and PPS fields are optional.

The destination for all Securities File inquiries is "CN".

No period after the last field.

Only "CN" is allowed as an address for "CSQ".

Boat File (CBQ/CBR)

This information is provided by the CPIC stolen boat file.

If the user needs registration information, send an administrative request to CPIC (ORI = ON1000000) to initiate a manual search.

A boat is defined as a watercraft, which may be a small open vessel, a large vessel, or ship, propelled by oars, sails or engine(s).

Users may also query the Boat File for information on stolen motors. The inquiry is made by serial number and requires a type code.

Boat File Query Specifications (CBQ)

Only the "CN" address is allowed for BHN queries.

At least one of the five key fields must be included in the inquiry (i.e. LIC, BHN, REG, NAM, SER).

When an inquiry is made on any of the five items the computer will search all five indices. For example, if a query is on LIC/1234 and there is a boat with a hull number of "1234", it will be returned. The Canadian system does this to compensate for human error in recognizing which field is which.

The RSN/ and PPS/ fields are optional.

The Boat File Query (CBQ) will have the following format.

Entry	# Char.	Explanation
CBQ.	3	Message type followed by a period.
Sender ORI	9	Sender ORI followed by a period.
Destination code	2	2 character destination code followed by a period. For VIN inquiries only "CN" is allowed. For LIC inquiries, a providence or territory code must be used.
TXT	3	Fixed filed prefix to beginning of message.
OR
LIC/	4	Prefix to identify license plate.
License number	1-10	License number followed by a period.
OR
BHN/	4	Prefix to identify hull number, CPIC will use HIN for this field in their response.
Hull ID #	Max.12	Hull ID # followed by a period.
OR
REG/	4	Prefix to identify registration number.
Registration number	1-10	Registration number of large vessels that do not have to be licensed but must be registered followed by a period.

Person/property code in-sight	1	Must be Y or N.

Note: No period after the last field

Boat File Response (CBR)

The user is responsible for confirming the boat hit with the entering Canadian agency.

The "YQ" message and format is to be used for confirming all hits on the boat file.

The destination address of the agency that entered the record may be found in the record itself but it is incomplete. It will state "Entered by:" followed by the name and 7 character address of the agency.

The user must add two zeroes to the end of the Canadian address to create the correct destination address. The user will then proceed through the normal hit confirmation process as with any other stolen boats.

Note: Canada uses the prefix "HIN" for hull number. In the United States "BHN" is used. They are synonymous.

Criminal History Files (IQ/IR, FQ/FR, AQ/AR)

The process for accessing Canadian criminal history records from the RCMP is the same as accessing criminal records in the United States, IQ/FQ/AQ. There are a few differences in the formats however.

First, the Canadian system use a unique number assigned to an individual based on fingerprints, the "FPS" number.
Second, the Canadian system has an optional field to access additional records when multiple hits on name inquiries are received.
Third, the destination is always "CN".

Only agencies that are allowed access to the Triple I file are allowed access to the Canadian criminal history file.

Criminal Name Index Query Specifications (IQ)

The "IQ" is utilized when the agency does not have the FPS Canadian identification number. (The FPS number is Canada's version of the FBI number; a unique number assigned to each criminal record and backed up by fingerprints.)

Response to this type of inquiry will provide personal identification information of one or multiple individuals. Normally, CPIC will return the three records that achieved the highest score.

The user will have the option of retrieving additional records using the "RAR" optional field on a subsequent request.

The user may request that more than three records be returned on the initial inquiry by including the "RAR" field in the initial inquiry with the number of records (up to 10) the user wishes to see.

Once the identification record(s) have been returned it is at the option of the inquirer to select the individual the user is interested in and submit an "FQ" in order to retrieve the full criminal record.

This works very much like NCIC's QH/QR or Nlets interstate IQ/FQ procedures.

The inquiry transaction will have the following format.

Entry	# Char.	Explanation
IQ	2	Message type followed by a period.
Sender ORI	9	Standard ORI followed by a period.
Destination ORI	2	Must be CN, followed by a period.
TXT	3	Fixed filed prefix to beginning of message.
PUR/	4	Prefix to identify purpose code.
Purpose code	1	Must be C, E, F, D, J or S followed by a period. See Introduction Page for more information.
ATN/	4	Prefix to identify attention field.
Attention field	30	Name of requestor followed by a period.
NAM/	4	Prefix to identify name.
Name	Max. 30	Full name; format is last name, comma, space after comma is optional) first name, space, middle initial or name followed by a period.
DOB/	4	Prefix to identify date of birth.
Date of Birth	6-8	Date of Birth followed by a period. Express as mmddyy or ccyymmdd.
SEX/	4	Prefix to identify sex.
Sex	1	Sex followed by a period; M = male, F = female.
RAR/ (optional)	4	Prefix to identify field used to request additional records.
Request additional records	13	Request additional records using data from the last record received, or request additional records in the original inquiry in the format; XX,YYYYYYY,ZZ where; XX = # of additional records (up to 10); only field required on initial YYYYYYY =FPS# of last record received ZZ = score of last record received.

If the response indicates that there are additional identity records on file, the requestor may retrieve these by using the "RAR" field in a subsequent inquiry.

Note: IF THE INQUIRER WANTED TO RETRIEVE MORE THAN 3 RECORDS ON THE INITIAL INQUIRY HE COULD INCLUDE THE "RAR" FIELD IN THE INQUIRY WITH ONLY A NUMBER INDICATING THE NUMBER OF RECORDS TO BE RETRIEVED.

This request would return the first 7 records that matched the input data.

Criminal Name Index Response (IR)

When the inquirer queries the CPIC criminal history file by name he will receive identity information only.

There is no manual intervention on this response from CPIC.

If the inquiry was by FPS# a full criminal record may be returned.

Full criminal records will be reviewed by RCMP Identification Services prior to transmission to the inquirer.

If the user wishes to access the full criminal record he must submit the FPS number using the "FQ" message format.

If there are more than 3 identification records that match your name inquiry only the three highest scoring records will be returned.

In order to retrieve additional records, up to 10, you must send the standard "IQ" message with the optional "RAR" field as the last data field. It must be in the following format; RAR:XX,YYYYYYY,ZZ

Where: xx = number of additional records required (up to 10), must be 2 characters YYYYYYY = the FPS number of the last record received ZZ = the score value of the last record received

Note: COMMAS MUST SEPARATE THE ABOVE VALUES

There are some fields that may be unfamiliar to the recipient of Canadian identity records.

Full Criminal Record Query (FQ)

This type of inquiry is used to obtain a full criminal record when the FPS is known.

The Full Criminal Record Query (FQ) format is as follows.

Entry	# Char.	Explanation
FQ.	2	Message type followed by a period.
Sender ORI	9	Standard ORI followed by a period.
Destination ORI	2	Must be CN, followed by a period.
TXT	3	Fixed filed prefix to beginning of message.
PUR/	4	Prefix to identify purpose code.
Purpose code	1	Must be C, F, D, J or S followed by a period. See Introduction Page for more information.
ATN/	4	Prefix to identify attention field.
Attention field	30	Name of requestor followed by a period.
FPS/	4	Prefix to identify FPS field; may use "SID/" as an optional prefix. The computer will treat them the same.
FPS #Name	Max. 7	FPS identification number, based on fingerprints and assigned by the RCMP; users may use "SID" if it is more convenient; Nlets and Canada will accept either one.

Full Criminal Record Response Specifications (FR)

This record may be returned when the user submits an FPS number.

All criminal record information in the CPIC file will be returned (with the exception of that information not authorized to be sent internationally).

Because RCMP Identification Services must review all records prior to sending them internationally, users may receive an interim message notifying them that they have realized a hit and it is being verified by the RCMP Identification Services Directorate.

The criminal record is laid out in three columns.

The first has the date in yyyy-mm-dd format and the place of the incident.
The second column has the charges.
The third has the disposition.

Non-retrieveable Criminal History Record

The RCMP has some unique dissemination requirements for records transmitted internationally.

Therefore it is possible to retrieve a valid identity record, request the full record using the FPS number and receive a message that states that the record matching the FPS number submitted contains only information that can not be disseminated outside of Canada.

Supplemental Criminal History Inquiry and Response (AQ/AR)

The AQ format is not accepted by Canada. All information is provided on the initial FQ query

Administrative Messages

Nlets users may direct administrative messages to up to 5 destinations on the CPIC network.

Administrative messages must include:

Reason for the request
Name of the requester

To broadcast an "AM" message, it must be addressed to "CN" for a country-wide broadcast.

Only narrative messages dealing with urgent operational police matters will be considered for nationwide broadcast in Canada.

Canada has NO facility for broadcasting messages to individual provinces therefore "AM" messages to 2-character province or territory should not be sent. These will be reviewed by INTERPOL in the U.S. prior to forwarding to Canada.

ORION

Access Canada's ORION files in the same manner as with a U.S. agency.

Use the two characters "CN" for all provinces and territories of Canada.
All Canadian ORIs are 7 characters but two zeros are added to the end to make them 9 character ORIs.
