Only when IRCC specifically asks for the RCMP PCC.
Document requirements
In exceptional circumstances, IRCC may accept
- For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than six months before the submission of the e-APR.
- For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country.
- Police certificates are required up front and are mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has lived for a total of six months or more. This instruction is for the purpose of the completeness check under section R10. However, it is always at an officer’s discretion to request a new or additional police certificate.
- Some countries require that the applicant complete a consent form to initiate a police certificate. For example, an applicant seeking a police certificate from New Zealand must download and complete the Consent to Disclosure of Information (NZ) form available on the IRCC website. The form is then uploaded (with any other police certificates the applicant may provide) as part of the e-APR. If the application is not rejected as incomplete, the processing office will assess the consent form and electronic file and initiate the police certificate.
- Police certificates need to be a scan of the original police certificate(s) in color. Certified true copies and unauthorized copies are unacceptable and will result in the application being rejected as incomplete.

- proof of having requested a police certificate for such countries; and
- an explanation of best efforts (not a guarantee of acceptance). The applicant should explain the delay in a document and upload the document. The uploaded document must show that the applicant requested a police certificate as soon as possible after receiving their Invitation to Apply.
Dear legalfalcon, I uploaded Indian PCC letter issued by PSK but forgot to upload PCC stamped page of passport which PSK stamps after issuing PCC. Will it result in incomplete document. Is it mandatory to upload that stamp as well or only letter will suffice? Is there any case where PR application got rejected due to this ?
