Hi all,
I applied for GCMS notes for my spouse's outland Family Class application in August 2023.
In the notes, it had a section for Police Clearance Certificiate. It said 'Provided' for the country where he is staying but 'Request Required' for where he studied. We didn't submit the PCC for the place he studied at since he didn't spent 6 months at a time per visit on the basis of our reading of the requirements for PCC. To get that PCC travel will be required as it is not easy.
Could someone clarify if 'Request Required' is a future Additional Document Request, or if it won't necessarily lead to one? Should we proactively submit it? Another scenario could be that they don't ask for it at all so I'm not sure how to proceed. As it were, we were assigned to London VO so I am anticipating delays in our application anyway.
