Legacy Text Examples - 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)

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).

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

The NOT ON FILE response occurs when no matching record was found in the Canadian file.

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 UQ. 2 Message type followed by a period. Sender ORI 9 Sender ORI followed by a period. Province/Territory

in-sight 1 Must be Y or N. Optional

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

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.
If the type code (TYP) is set to BU (Bulk entries), the bulk type code (BTC) field should be used instead of the serial number
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. Sender ORI 9 Sender ORI followed by a period. Destination ORI 2 2 character destination code followed by a period, will

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.

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)

Security File Response - No Record (CSR)

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

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

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.

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.
