Unfortunately I am not Mexican... but I did live in Mexico for almost a year... beautiful place, good food... anyway
But here is what I did......
For as long as I searched on the web, asked, emailed and called...... embassy, police institutions in Mexico, etc... I did not find a place to get the police certificate other than traveling to Mexico or having someone living there to process it for you!!!
I eventually got an email from the PGR, kind of like the FBI over there or something like that
.. and they told me explicitly to go there or have someone over there to request it...
It's been sooo long since I live in Mexico, almost 10 years.... and I have lost all the contacts there
so... what I did... and I am expecting and answer/rejection/instructions, etc... was to include in my CIC application the FBI certificate, home country police certificate, translations of the email I received from PGR, and my written statement signed for me and certified by a notary stating that I did almost the impossible to get the Mexican police certificate and... the only possibility I had was to travel to Mexico to request it.
I am also stating that I would need to spend a fortune if I were to do that, because I would need around 10 days to request certificate in Mexico D.F. paying hotel, food, flight ticket; and 3-4 days to process certificate in Monterrey again paying hotel, food, flight ticket.....
what is going to be the outcome of this???... only God and the immigration officer know and I am just waiting patiently for their answer....
BTW I also called the Mexican consulate in Boston and they told me that they were going to find out about the process and that they would call me back..... I am still waiting for their call

Hello
I just got my BCPNP APPROVAL!. Inside the package they suggest to apply for Permanent Residence before I get the police certificates. However, my common law partner is Japanese and in the specific visa instructions website for Japanese citizens, they mention that I have to submit the police cleareance with my initial application. In addition, I am a Mexican citizen and the BCPNP package states to initiate the process of obtaining the police clearance immediately but the specific visa instructions website mentions that I do not need to submit the police clearance with my initial application but eventually the office will contact me. Any suggestion to which instructions should I follow?
