Has anyone been asked again for a second police certificate??? Please advise

Hi,

We are in the last stage of our PR, medicals sent, RPRF paid...but when we sent proof of RPRF we were asked for a valid original police certificate even though we sent them along with the application back in Sep 2012. We explained and they said there was a mistake and we didn't need to send anything. Next day another email saying they where missing, then another saying they where there.
Now, 3 months later, we received another email asking for them again. What do we do??? I don't want my application being stuck because this misunderstanding, is there any other way to contact them and ask them? will they tell me if I call the call center???
Even if they said again that there was a mistake, it's hard to believe them, why this back and forth??
I'm sure they expired by now but they don't ask for a new one and when I ask them they don't specify. The whole process takes more than 16 months so they now they are going to expire.
I would send them again with no doubt if it wasn't that difficult getting them from our countries being here, then translating them, making true copies...

Please, any advise??

Your police certificate is expired. You need to apply for another one.

Really??But then everybody is going to have to send new ones because the processing time is around 16 months and they are only valid for 12 months, right??

A lot of them has a proccess around 12 months. Or they have extension. Yes ppl does have to reapply for police certificate.
