I received an email for police certificate request for my parents yesterday:

Police Certificate: From each country/state where the residence period has been six months or longer since the age of 18

Since my mom is here in canada with super visa, and has been here since last year so she needs to get one for Canada as well. Her home country needs her to go to the local police station to get her fingerprints and send it to them for process, and when she request to do one for Canada, they told her it's not required for PR to do criminal record check, all she needs is the fingerprints which she has done. I am very confused since i thought this set of fingerprints is for her home country police certificate, so does that mean she needs to get another one done for Canada?

Hello everybody,

I have a hard time understanding what comes next from my simple situation:

My mother received the medical examination instructions email and 5 days later we stepped into the doctor's office (in Canada). We got a signed paper printed out from the e-Medical system. Mother is still required to do extra cardio tests so we are doing this but will take a month or so .

What do I need to do next ? Where should I send the medical paper I got ? Do I need to send it considering is in the electronic system ?

In brief this is our timeline :
November 2010 - application received by CIC
July 2014 - request letter from CIC to submit documents to complete application (sent to CIC Mississauga)
January 2015 - confirmation that all application is complete
April 2015 - email confirmation for meeting requirements as a sponsor
June 11, 2015 - email request for Medical examination
June 16, 2015 - did the medical exam and referral to cardio investigation was issued

My mother country : Romania
What next ? What should I do ? Are there any other steps after this ?

Thank you !

Please help on police certificate question!!!

on the CIC website it says:

Police certificates

You and your family members who are 18 years of age and older and are not permanent residents or Canadian citizens must provide:

valid police certificate, or
police clearance, or
record of no information.

These documents are to be provided for each country "other than Canada", in which you have lived for six (6) consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18.

So if my parents are here in Canada on their super visa, do they need to obtain a police certificate if they stay here over 6 months?

Hi,
My parent and one accompanying dependent have received their medical request last week but with that they have also received a medical request for my brother, it says all the dependent whether accompanying or non accompanying must go through medical.
My brother is 29, non dependent(was never really identified as dependent) and was not included in the application. he was mentioned as a family member.
he is currently in Canada,
I am not sure if they have sent his Medical request by Mistake or if that is really required,
I would really appreciate if some one can share their experience, If they have come across such a situation.
Thanks.

Hi SIP. Please check the link.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/north-america/canada.asp

If the VO specifically ask your parents to submit criminal record check, then get one as per the link. Otherwise, wait till they ask for it, just submit PC from other country as applicable and make a note that you will submit Criminal record check as soon as the VO required (that's what we mentioned when we submitted my parents PC). My parents are in similar case, they're here in canada on TRV since November 2013. We only submitted PC from home country. Additional docs have been asked since but not yet criminal record check from within canada. We are now at PPR stage and submitted PP few days ago, so far VO didn't require criminal record check... Maybe they will ask before issuing visa ... Or maybe not...

Thanks first_generation for your reply.

Medical has been received. Now they are requesting police certificate. It says:

Police Certificate: From each country/state where the residence period has been six months or longer since the age of 18, provide an update original police clearance certificate from "my home country". This must be received at this office by: 2015/08/02

The above information/documents must be received in our office by the stated deadline. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application.

How would you interpret this? Do you think they are just asking for my home country's PC or do I need to do one for Canada as well?

Forgot to mention that my parents' application is being process at my home country VO not in Ottawa so i am not sure if it makes a difference? May i ask first generation is your parents application being process within Canada?

I am already thinking a step ahead and wonder how to send in my mom's PP upon request back home.

My situation is my dad is still back home waiting for PR, and my mom came here with super visa to help looking after my daughter while i returned to work. So it has being a lot of mailing back and forth in order to submit doc in the same package along with my dad's.

Any insight you could provide would be great.

Hi
I had the same issue. I have received medical for my younger brother who was 29 years when I applied for my parents. But he was not included in the application, I believe the medical email is automated.

I emailed SGVO and told them my brother is married and immigrated to Canada in 2011. I believe you can do the same.Best of luck.

IMHO, they're only asking update PC from your home country otherwise, I believe they will also specifically mention criminal record check from canada if they require it since technically canadian PC is not required as per previous link. I fail to mention, my parents have dependent who reside in Dubai. The LVO in manila specifically asked for PC from Dubai.

The VO is manila. I understand your concern with regard to PP submission. Our case is, my parents are here in toronto, one dependent in Dubai, another dependents back home in Philippines. True enough docs have to be mailed here to my parents first, then back to manila VO. Same thing happened with the PP. I don't know which VO your processing is but some country like India, I believe cannot internationally mail passports because illegal that country.
