Police Check

[DJ1234]

Hey,

Just curious if you have to provide a police check from your country of origin/birth when you go to apply to renew your PR card like when you first apply for residency? Or do they only look at RCMP record for PR renewal?

Also wondering the same thing about Citizenship.

Thanks!

You are required to provide a police certificate for each country, other than Canada, where you were present for a total of 183 days or more during the four (4) years immediately before the date of your application.
