In the portal no, I’ll call IRCC in a
Minute, but its weird because I only every lived in one country before Canada and they don’t asked to submit Police clearance from your birth country.
Nothing useful, same generic responses. And said if they asked for one I have to provide which isn’t true cause If I can’t obtain one what else they want me to do.
If someone applied in March 2025 and got BIL in May 2026. What much more time could it realistically take to get through to the remaining steps and eventual PR? Thank you.
Just wondering how could someone submit the police certificate from your country since the applicant claimed themselves that their life is at risk of going back to the home country.
