Question for everyone (or those who are Before December 2016 applicants), when people have been getting police check requests after their medical, are they given only 10 days to submit that with their passport and forms? Or is it asked for separately from passport request. I guess that's a question for @ClassicD, @ooao and @tender. I'm just wondering if I should get my husband to go and do his police check now instead of waiting for them to ask, since it is valid for 6 months. The one we submitted with our application would have expired in November last year. It's just Accra is at least a days travel away so it would save us time if we did it before. Thoughts?
This is Ghana, trust me i got mine the next day after applying with an extra 100cedis so just wait

In my case, they asked for original copies of the police report from both Nigeria and UK as well as the medicals to be done. In Nigeria, its pretty quick to get the Nigeria police report. I suspect that after they receive the police reports and medicals, then they will do background checks and then ask my wife to submit her passport for the visa. The gave us 30 days from the date we received the letter to submit the documents.

I will suggest you wait because every case is different however they will give you enough time to produce the documents and to do the medicals.

Thank you @xls @senaghana and @ClassicD . Yes, my husband has gone for two police checks before; the one we did expired before we sent in our app because we were delayed gathering documents and the second one we were able to send with our app. There is a guy that helps him out there and he gets it the next day. Just the travel which sucks. Thanks guys!

Nigeria passport office needs the old passport before they can issue a new passport. So, I ask cic to return the passport we submitted.

I hope this won't cause another delay? They gave my husband 30days to submit new passport.

i can send you screen shot ... at the bottom of the certificate below the applicant name it says
whose true representation appears in the picture above doea not appear in the criminal records of ghana police service. this is valid for 6 months from date of issue. so maybe other countries may be different however on the GH it clearly states it
I'll take your word for it. I will have my hubby check one of these days...if he has a photocopy of his original.

I think you can add it. An email is different than adding people. And especially if CIC noticed, you should do it.
I agree for email, there's no harm in adding it.

I would suggest you just wait for them to contact you. Remember it's case by case situation.
I'm itching like @becos oh, @xls...since chances that the 2016 partners will get PPR before end of the year, I am contemplating having my hubby redo his police report before they ask for it..this way there's no further delays
