2024 PR Application timeline
- Thread starter Littlebeee
- Start date
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:

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.
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.

Hi,
All you need to do is click on the link where the forms are located and ensure that you are using the most up-to-date version of each form. Please also ensure that all documents are properly signed. If the electronic signature does not work for a particular form, kindly print it, sign it manually, and upload it as required.
With regard to forms requesting your address history and/or personal history, please ensure there are no gaps in the timeline. For example, if one period is January 2001 to March 2008, the next entry should begin from April 2008 to May 2015, and so on. There must be no unaccounted periods in between.
Regarding police certificates, once an individual reaches 18 years of age, they must obtain their own police certificate. This should be provided for every country in which the person has lived for six months or more.
Additionally, for dependants, once they turn 18 years old, certain forms must be completed and signed by them personally.
All application forms come with official guidance. There are also helpful videos available online from reputable immigration consultants that you may follow when completing your respective application forms.

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.
I think I was not clear on my question. The message above sent for my overseas wife PR, says she should provide police certificates for herself and her spouse. I am currently in Canada, while my wife is overseas. Based on how it is written, it sounds like my wife need to submit police certificates for her from her country of origin and also for me from both Canada and my country of origin, which does not seem to make sense to me. I am not 100% sure though. Has anyone been in a similar situation or can clarify whether:
- My wife need to provide police certificate just for herself or
- She needs to submit my police certificate as well? (fyi: My wife never been to any other countries and our dependents are not 18 years old yet.)
I think it goes for your wife, however despite not seeing the letter - had they asked for you, then it would have state you besides your name. for example me, when IRCC requested further documentations from me, they did say what they want from me and what they want from my son (we are both dependants) for the records.
Thank you very much. Thats what I thought. Its clear from the email that they are asking for my wife. but this generic statement they put in the email confused me:
- 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.
