Police Certificate / Criminal Record Check Difference
1- What's the difference between above two terms?
2- In past, I had lived in BC. Canada in year 2001 to 2003 on the student visa and then returned back Pakistan and never went back to Canada after that. I have no over stay and no criminal records and never given my finger prints to local RCMP (Vancouver/ Surrey) at that time. I have my BC. Identity card and learner's driver license, which are both, expired now. Now how they gona check my criminal record if no finger prints available for me?
3-Is it must to have Canadian police certificate if some one lived & studied in Canada and then returned back to his own country. If I want to apply the visit visa of Canada and to file AEO immigration application then does Canadian Embassy in Pakistan arranges the Canadian Polices Certificate at his own or I have to arrange it?
I want to know this in advance to avoid the delay in processing of my visit visa application and AEO application.

1. They will check to see if you or a person with a similar name age has a record in CPIC. If there are no hits fine, but if there is a person with the same/similar name age, then CIC/CHC will request fingerprints to determine if it is you or not. If you are requested to get a Canadian Police record check, then it up to you to obtain it.
1. Only if they ask. They may wish to read the CIC web site. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/north-america/canada.asp
