Hello everyone,
Thanks for being part of such helpful forum!
I have applied for the PR through the graduate program in Quebec. In my original application I sent my police certificates from my country of nationality (Peru) and they told me Canadian ones would be asked for later if necessary. I have been living in Canada for 7 years now.
A month ago I received the following letter, which seems to be an automated email everyone who falls under certain category receives. Out of all the items mentioned, the only one I hadn't submitted was the RIGHT OF PERMANENT RESIDENT FEE (RPRF) which I've now paid.
My question is the following, should I take this letter as they requiring my to submit Canadian police certificates given that I have lived there for more than 6 months? Or do they actually send a letter specifying they want Canadian police certificates when they require it? Has anyone received such letter?
Thank you very much!
