Hello everyone,
I am a September 2024 applicant. I received my pre-arrival letter in March 2026. Last year, IRCC requested that I resubmit a few forms for my overseas wife and dependents, which I submitted right away.
Last Thursday, I received an email from the Singapore visa office requesting documents listed below.
The email references my wife’s case number, and my wife is currently overseas while I am in Canada. At first, I thought the email was spam, but after reviewing carefully, i realized it appears legitimate.
My question is: Do I also need to submit a police certificate from my country of origin for myself, or is the request only for my wife since the email is tied to her case? Same thing with IMM 5669: Do I need to submit for me and my wife both or just for my wife? I feel like it should be just for her and the write up below is generic. I will appreciate all of you input. The following documents are requested:
- Updated original Good Conduct Certificate (or Certificate of No Criminal Record) from the police authorities of all countries where you, your spouse/common-law partner, and each of your dependent children who is 18 years of age and older, have resided for a period of six months or more since turning 18.
There may be more than one type of police certificate available in each country. To find out which certificate(s) you need and how to apply for them, visit the CIC Web site:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...n/medical-police/police-certificates/how.html
If you do not provide the correct type of police certificate, the processing of your application will be delayed. Police certificates are valid for one year from the date of issue. If you have already submitted a police certificate which is still valid, you do not need to submit a new one.
- IMM 5669 Schedule A Background / Declaration form, completed with up-to-date information by you, your spouse/common-law partner, and each of your dependent children who is 18 years of age or older. Fill the form on the CIC Web site then print it:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5669E.pdf
You must provide complete details of your personal history and addresses since the age of 18. Do not leave any gaps. Failure to account for all time periods will delay the processing of your application.
Thank you very much for your help.
