I've never had my pal before I don't see anything here that could help me but maybe I cant read?

I'm mailing it I just want to know what needs to be in that envelope to the RCMP. I have my photo and my test scores do I need anything else before mailing?

Do not mail it. Mailing it will take up to a year. Submit it online it will be way faster.

I don't see how I can do it online i've checked that link but any log in info i put in says it doesn't work did my instructor have to do something to put me in the system? I understand mailing will take longer but if I have to do it id like to know if i need anything else before I mail it. I have a picture of myself and my test score sheet.

If you use CRA or my service Canada you should be able to log in online. If not , might be worth time setting that up and doing online just to speed up application.
