Hey everyone, I have a question, so the request letter I got states this for the PCC-
Police Certificate: From each country/state where the residence period has been six months or
longer since the age of 18, provide an original police clearance certificate
So my question is that do I need PCC from Canada? Because IRCC website states that you don't need PCC from Canada, below is the text from their website -
How to get a police certificate – Canada
If you need to give your fingerprints for a police certificate, this
isn’t the same as giving your
biometrics (fingerprints and photo) for an application.
Name of the document you need
Criminal record check
Police certificate and IRCC requirements
You don’t need to provide a police certificate when you apply for permanent residence in Canada. We’ll tell you if you need a Canadian criminal record check while your application is being processed.
How to apply
Visit the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) website for instructions.
So the name of the 'Canadian' PCC is Criminal Record Check as per this and it states that we will inform you if we need that and the request letter doesn't state Criminal Record Check, it states Police Clearance Certificate.
What do you guys think, do I need to submit the Criminal Record Check or no?
I although have already applied for Criminal Record Check through Toronto Police Department and its in process and so is the PCC from my home country so if the Criminal Record Check comes in the same timeline as the PCC from my home country, then its fine but if it doesn't so should I wait for it or submit the PCC only..
What do you guys think, please suggest.
